Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Two minor apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene haplotypes, represented by -1131T>C and S19W polymorphisms, are strong determinants of plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration variability across human populations. Hypertriglyceridemia is frequent in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hyperchylomicronemia is not uncommon. METHODS: We investigated the association of -1131T>C and S19W polymorphisms with diabetic...
