Abstract excerpt
The atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype (ALP) is a common heritable trait characterized by a predominance of small, dense low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles (subclass pattern B), increased levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, reductions in high density lipoprotein, and a 3-fold increased risk of myocardial infarction. Significant two-point linkage was found between ALP and the LDL receptor locus on the...
