Abstract excerpt

Our aim in this study is to report on the polymorphism of the APOE gene in the Azores Islands (Portugal) to obtain a population baseline of the existing variation in this locus, known to be one of the genetic determinants of plasma lipid levels. One hundred twenty-six Azorean individuals were typed for the APOE polymorphism using standard PCR-RFLP. Allele frequencies obtained for APOE*2, APOE*3, and APOE*4 were...
