Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Apolipoprotein (APO) A1-CIII genes are linked within a 2.6-kb region on human chromosome 11. ApoA1 is the main component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and apoCIII inhibits lipoprotein lipase activity. Genetic variations in APOA1-CIII may affect the function of apoA1/apoCIII and plasma lipid/lipoprotein levels, and thus, the risk of developing atherosclerosis. This study compared the...
