Lack of association between the apolipoprotein B gene 3' hypervariable region alleles and coronary artery disease in Finnish patients with angiographically documented coronary artery disease.

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 polymerase chain reaction and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the 3'VNTR genotype was determined in 187 individuals with...
