Abstract excerpt

The polymorphic markers of the apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene include restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) scattered along the length of the gene, an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism at the 5' and variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) at the 3' untranslated ends. The Xbal and...
