Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the insertion/deletion polymorphism in the signal peptide region of the apoB gene in 106 Finnish individuals from North Karelia. The relative frequency of the insertion allele in this sample was 0.73. Strong linkage disequilibrium was detected between this apoB insertion/deletion polymorphism and the Ag(c/g) epitope pair of apoB, while weak linkage disequilibrium was detected between the...
