Abstract excerpt
We investigated the possibility that the DNA HindIII polymorphism of human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is associated with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) determined by angiography in young patients who survived a myocardial infarction (MI). Conflicting studies have explored the relationship linking CAD severity to the HindIII restriction site polymorphism at the LPL gene locus, and to our knowledge, no...
