Apolipoprotein (apo) CIII participates in the regulation of the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and it is a major component of chylomicrons and VLDL. The APOC3 gene is on chromosome 11q23 and is highly polymorphic. The less common allele (S2) of the SstI polymorphism on the 3' untranslated region of the APOC3 gene has been previously associated with increased triglycerides, total cholesterol (TC),...
