Abstract excerpt
Alterations in lipoprotein levels are reported to be related to an increased risk of gallstones. Plasma lipid metabolism is regulated by a number of proteins that are polymorphic in the population. The present research was designed to investigate the association between the polymorphisms of these proteins and the presence of various gallbladder diseases. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of...
