Abstract excerpt
Fifteen polymorphisms in six lipid transport genes were studied in a German population for relationships with dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease (CAD), to investigate a possible genetic basis for the marked differences in mortality rates from coronary heart disease within Europe. In other populations these polymorphisms have all been associated with CAD or with phenotypes known to predispose to CAD. The...
