Abstract excerpt
We have identified a hitherto unknown genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV). The molecular basis for this polymorphism is an A to G substitution at nucleotide 1687 resulting in an Asn to Ser change of amino acid 127. The frequencies of the two apoA-IV alleles (designated apoA-IV12...
