Abstract excerpt
Leucine 7 (Leu7) to proline 7 (Pro7) substitution in the neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene has been associated with higher serum total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, particularly in obese subjects. We investigated the frequency of the Pro7 allele and the association of the polymorphism with serum lipid levels in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). A total of 414 CHD patients (mean age 61...
