Abstract excerpt
Serum triglyceride levels (TG) are important independent risk factors for coronary heart disease. The apolipoproteins C-III (apoCIII) and A-V (apoAV) are central to normal TG metabolism and the complete sequence analysis of these genes was carried out in severe cases (TG > 9 mmol/l) and controls (TG < 2 mmol/l). A total of 53 SNPs were identified in these genes with 17 being novel to this study. Further analysis...
