Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Haplotypes comprising six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (intron 7 to intron 9) of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene appear to influence risk for atherosclerosis and insulin resistance in Mexican-Americans. OBJECTIVE: Based on rodent studies, we hypothesized that these haplotypes are in linkage disequilibrium with functional variants in the 3' untranslated region of LPL, which is encoded by exon...
