Abstract excerpt
We have examined DNA polymorphisms associated with the apolipoprotein B gene in 95 Sri Lankan males with ischaemic heart disease and 95 matched controls. For polymorphisms detected using the XbaI or MspI enzymes the allele frequency in Sri Lankans contrasted markedly from that in Caucasians. Over...
