Abstract excerpt
Three polymorphisms of the apoprotein B gene (XbaI, signal peptide insertion/deletion and the 3'-variable number of tandem repeats) selected on the basis of previously published reports as likely to be the most informative, were investigated in a cross-cultural study in Europe. Students from 14 universities, grouped for analyses into five regions, were recruited as cases (n = 682) if they had a paternal history...
