Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several known candidate gene variants are useful markers for diagnosing hyperlipoproteinemia. In an attempt to identify other useful variants, we evaluated the association of two common APOA5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms across the range of classic hyperlipoproteinemia phenotypes. METHODS: We assessed plasma lipoprotein profiles and APOA5 S19W and -1131T>C genotypes in 678 adults from a single...
