Background Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes have been associated with variations in plasma-lipid levels and with response to statins, although the influence of APOE on the response to statins remains controversial, especially in patients with diabetes. We sought to evaluate the association of the APOE genotype with the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc)-lowering response to statins, in a large population-based cohort of patients with diabetes.Methods and results A total of 1383 patients, commencing statins between 1990 and 2006, were identified from the Genetics of Diabetes Audit and Research in Tayside Scotland database. Statin response was determined both by the minimum LDLc achieved, and by the failure of the patients to reach a clinical target LDLc (
