Abstract excerpt
The genes encoding apolipoproteins (apos) A-I, B, C-III and E as well as that encoding the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) have been proposed as candidate genes for coronary heart disease (CHD). We determined the common polymorphisms of the apo genes, previously found to influence serum lipid levels at the population level, and the insertion/deletion polymorphism of the ACE gene, recently reported to reflect...
