Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) signal peptide (sp) polymorphism was characterized by polymerase chain reaction in blood samples of 58 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and 319 control individuals of Chinese Han ethnic origin in Taiwan. In the CAD group, 77% of the observed alleles were sp27 (sp with 27 amino acids), and the remaining 23% sp24 (sp with 24 amino acids). The frequency distributions of the apoB sp...
