Abstract excerpt
We are studying the genetic factors underlying the common forms of heart disease by identifying genes that affect normal variations in plasma lipid, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein concentrations in baboons. For these studies we are using cloned human gene probes to identify restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at loci encoding the proteins of cholesterol metabolism. In this report we present the...
