Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and Apolipoprotein C-III (APOC-III) play an important role in lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to explore the possible associations of the gene polymorphisms (LPL HindIII, LPL Ser(447)-Ter and APOC3 SstI), diabetes mellitus, and plasma lipids with myocardial infarction. The polymorphisms were assessed by restriction assay in 200 Egyptian MI patients (100 diabetic and 100...
