Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Numerous polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene have been described. Particularly, the insertion/deletion (Ins/Del) polymorphism located in the coding part of the signal peptide of apoB, associated with modification of lipid concentrations and the risk of coronary artery disease and/or myocardial infarction (MI), has been reported in the general population. Moreover, conflicting results...
