Abstract excerpt

The role of genetic variation at the 3' end of the apolipoprotein B gene locus in the development of coronary heart disease and the regulation of the serum levels of various lipoproteins was studied by using two common restriction fragment length polymorphisms detected with the enzymes Xba I and...
