Abstract excerpt
We studied the molecular characteristics of three naturally occurring variants in the human apolipoprotein B (apoB) signal peptide, their frequencies in non-insulin-dependent diabetic and random populations, and their association with several measures of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. In a random sample of 197 French whites, there were two common alleles, 5'beta SP-24 and 5'beta SP-27, with frequencies of...
