Abstract excerpt
In previous studies, apoB polymorphisms have been shown to modify serum lipid responses to changes in dietary fat intake. The functionally important apoB DNA change or changes underlying these effects have, however, remained unknown. Using a single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis-based screening method, we identified two previously unreported apoB polymorphisms located close to each other in the 5'...
