Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) variants are associated with increased plasma triglycerides, a risk factor for the metabolic syndrome (MS), but a correlation with apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) genotypes is controversial. We investigated the correlation of APOA5 genotypes with plasma apoA5 levels and APOC3 genotypes in MS patients from a Romanian population. APOA5 (-1131T>C, c.56C>G) and APOC3 (-482C>T, -455T>C)...
