Stepwise positive association between APOA5 minor allele frequencies and increasing plasma triglyceride quartiles in random patients with hypertriglyceridemia of unclarified origin.

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) gene and its protein product play a central role in the complex regulation of circulating triglyceride levels in humans. Naturally occurring variants of the apolipoprotein A5 gene have been associated with increased triglyceride levels and have been found to confer risk for cardiovascular diseases. In our study, four polymorphisms, the T-1131C, IVS3+G476A, T1259C, and C56G alleles of...
