Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We previously reported linkage and association of the apoAI-CIII-AIV gene region on chromosome 11 with familial combined hyperlipidaemia (FCHL). However, the observed epistasis resulting in an increased susceptibility to FCHL still remains unexplained. We hypothesize that the region between the apo AI and apo CIII genes may harbour functional mutations that might be in linkage disequilibrium with the...
