Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The presence of known restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the apoprotein A-I-C-III gene cluster, which encodes their respective apoproteins, was investigated using the restriction enzymes Sac I and Pst I to determine the potential role of genetic variations for stroke risk in an American population. METHODS: Ninety-eight subjects (70 white, 28 black subjects), both normal controls...
