marginally significantP < 0.0001
The association between the APOA5 -1131 T>C polymorphism and higher levels of TC under dominant model was significant in East Asians, and marginally significant in European descendents: SMD = 0.09, 95% CI (0.05, 0.13), P < 0.0001, P heterogeneity = 0.69, and SMD = 0.07, 95% CI (-0.00, 0.15), P = 0.05, respectively (Table 1 ).
