Abstract excerpt
Linkage of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene to blood pressure levels has been reported. The LPL S447X single nucleotide polymorphism (cSNP) has been associated with decreased triglycerides (TG), increased high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and a decreased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which may occur independently of its beneficial lipid changes. To investigate the relationship between LPL S447X cSNP...
