Abstract excerpt
A number of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of the apolipoprotein B (apoB) and apolipoprotein A-I/C-III(apoA-I/C-III) genes have been found to be associated with serum lipoprotein levels in many adult populations. In order to examine whether these genetic polymorphisms influence serum lipoprotein levels in childhood and adolescence, we determined the apoB XbaI and apoA-I/C-III SstI genotypes and...
