Association of nucleotide variations in the apolipoprotein B48 receptor gene (APOB48R) with hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract excerpt

Factors predisposing to the phenotypic features of high total cholesterol (T-Cho) in human plasma have not been clearly defined. Here we report an association between two variations in the apolipoprotein B48 receptor gene (APOB48R) and plasma T-Cho levels among 352 adult individuals in Japan. By analyzing phenotypic associations between age- and gender-adjusted levels of plasma T-Cho, low-density lipoprotein...
