Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms at the apolipoprotein B (apo B) have been associated with elevated plasma concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, atherosclerosis and increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). In the present study, four apo B gene polymorphisms (MspI, XbaI, Ins/Del and 3'HVR) have been investigated to determine their frequencies and influence on the lipid profile of 177...
