Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to analyze, on a double-blind basis, the relationships between the apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) gene and protein size polymorphisms in healthy volunteers (n = 99) and patients with premature myocardial infarction (n = 91). Apo(a) genotypes were determined by pulse-field electrophoresis and phenotypes were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-agarose gel electrophoresis. Results...
