Abstract excerpt
This study was aimed to examine cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), apolipoprotein AI and CIII gene polymorphisms, and to verify whether these genetic determinants are associated with the prevalence of myocardial infarction (MI) or type 2 diabetes. The TaqIB restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in intron I of the CETP gene, the MspI in the third intron of the APOAI gene, and also SstI in the 3'...
