Abstract excerpt
The newly identified apoprotein AV (apoAV) gene was suggested to have a significant effect on triglyceride (TG) metabolism in Caucasians. We studied the genetic effect of this gene on serum TG in a Japanese population. Participants (481 male and 412 female) were recruited at a health examination. A T/C single nucleotide polymorphism called SNP3 in the 5'-region of the apoAV gene was genotyped as described...
