Lack of association between genetic variations of apo A-I-C-III-A-IV gene cluster and myocardial infarction in a sample of European male: ECTIM study.

Abstract excerpt

The goal of the present study was to compare the allele frequency of four polymorphisms at the apo A-I C-III A-IV cluster gene locus-ApoA-I: XmnI and PstI; ApoC-III: SstI; ApoA-IV: XbaI-between male patients who had had a myocardial infarction (n= 614) and matched controls (n = 764). The association with a number of lipid lipoprotein, apolipoprotein and lipoprotein particle variables was also assessed. Patients...
