The diverse incidence of alcoholic cirrhosis around the world and the fact that not all alcoholic drinkers develop liver disease indicates that genetic and environmental factors play an important role in the development of liver cirrhosis. Lipids participate in early stages of alcoholic cirrhosis. Therefore variations in the plasma lipid profile due to primary (genetic) or secondary (environmental) dyslipidemia could affect the development of liver disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the lipid profile and apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (AC) and determine the risk associated with genotype polymorphism with the onset of alcoholic cirrhosis.
