Polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene and type III hyperlipidemia
2 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
The great majority of patients with type III hyperlipidemia (type III HLP) are homozygous for the epsilon2 allele of the APOE gene. However, only about 10% of epsilon2 homozygotes develop type III HLP, and it has been proposed that additional genetic factors are required for the development of the condition. The frequency of two polymorphisms in the APOA5 gene, -1131T>C and S19W, has been determined in 72...
