Abstract excerpt
Several polymorphisms in the ApoA5 gene emerged as important candidate genes in triglyceride metabolism. The aim of this study was to determine the associations between ApoA5 polymorphisms, plasma triglyceride concentrations and the presence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in three ethnic origins. Genotypes for 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were determined in 659 older adults (mean age 71+/-7 years)...
