Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The APO B gene is characterised by numerous polymorphic sites, three of which (XbaI, EcoRI, SpIns/Del) are related to levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoproteins, apo B and tryglicerides, and to coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or myocardial infarction (MI). Moreover, conflicting results emerge from literature. To assess how each polymorphism of the APO B gene was associated with CAD...
