Hypervariability in a minisatellite 3' of the apolipoprotein B gene: allelic distribution and influence on lipid profiles in Han Children from central China.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene 3' variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) is highly variable, and thereby be considered as an informative marker for associative analysis of lipid metabolism. METHODS: We conducted this study to probe the effect of apoB 3' VNTR alleles on lipid profiles in 500 Han children from central China, and to compare the allelic distribution of our subjects with multiple Chinese...
