Abstract excerpt
1. Recent molecular genetic studies have implicated the low-density-lipoprotein receptor gene locus (LDLR, at chromosome 19p13.2) in obesity in essential hypertensive patients and in the atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype. The present study examined genotypes for the obesity-associated ApaLI restr...
