Abstract excerpt
Hypertriglyceridemia is frequently associated with obesity. In the general Caucasian population, an association of the uncommon S2 allele of a DNA polymorphism of the apolipoprotein (apo) A-I/C-III/A-IV gene cluster with hypertriglyceridemia has been reported. To assess the risk of hypertriglyceridemia associated with the S2 allele in obesity, lipid status and apo A-I/C-III/A-IV genotypes were studied in 90...
