To test the hypothesis that the A/T polymorphism of the fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene (FABP2) is associated with impaired lipid metabolism and cardiovascular disease, we compared clinical characteristics and a parental history of cardiovascular disease between 213 sibling pairs discordant for the polymorphism. Siblings with an excess of the T54 allele had higher triglyceride (P = 0.002) and cholesterol (P =...
