Abstract excerpt
The contribution of the variants of the apolipoprotein (apo) B locus to the total variance in plasma apoB and cholesterol levels was examined in four independent populations, two that were composed of normal controls (n = 77 and 85) and two with coronary heart disease (n = 115 and 159). A correlation between genotype at the apoB-XbaI locus and apoB levels was observed. The effects of the (+; presence of...
