Abstract excerpt
HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I are associated with the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). The presence of a PstI site polymorphism adjacent to the gene encoding apo A-I (known as P2) has also been shown to be associated with CAD but this relationship is controversial. A case co...
