Abstract excerpt
Linkage and association between the apolipoprotein (apo) A-I/C-III/A-IV gene region on chromosome 11 and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) has been observed previously. Using sequence analysis two new allelic variants were identified, C(317) -T in intron 2 of the apoA-I gene and C(1100)-T in exon 3 of the apoC-III gene. These variants were studied in 30 FCHL probands, 159 hyperlipidemic relatives, 327...
