Abstract excerpt
RFLPs at the low density lipoprotein receptor locus (LDLR) display marked linkage disequilibrium between each other. Cross-sectional analysis of a bi-alleleic ApaLI RFLP of LDLR showed that the 9.4- and 6.6-kb alleles were present in similar frequency between a group of 84 Caucasian essential hypertensive (HT) and a group of 96 normotensive subjects whose parents each had a similar blood pressure status at age >...
