Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are hypothesized to explain the genetic predisposition to ischemic heart disease (IHD) in the general population. Lack of evidence for a role of such variation is fostering pessimism about the utility of genetic information in the practice of medicine. In this study we determined the utility of exonic and 5' SNPs in apolipoprotein E (APOE) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) when...
