Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have suggested that some apolipoprotein B (apoB) 3' variable number of tandem repeats (3'VNTR) locus alleles are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). We examined the possible association between the apoB 3'VNTR alleles and CAD in 387 Finnish subjects. Using the polymera...
