Abstract excerpt
Elevated plasma lipoprotein levels play a crucial role in the development of coronary artery disease. Genetic factors strongly influence the levels of plasma lipoproteins, but the genes and sequence variations contributing to the most common forms of dyslipidemias are not known. We used GeneChip probe arrays to resequence the coding regions of 10 key genes of lipid metabolism. The sequences of these genes were...
