Abstract excerpt
The aims of this study were to detect polymorphic sites in the apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV gene, to establish their frequencies, to determine potential haplotypes, and to investigate the role of these polymorphisms in lipid metabolism. A sequencing study of four individuals led to the identification of two synonymous mutations (codons 9 and 54) and three nonsynonymous mutations (Val-8----Met, Gln360----His, and...
