Abstract excerpt
A tribal aboriginal community, the Mowanjum, from the Kimberley region in Western Australia has been screened to determine the extent of genetic variation in the products of genes coding for apolipoproteins, which are intimately involved in lipid metabolism. Of the seven systems tested, APOE and APOH revealed common structural variations, but their distribution patterns are significantly different from those...
