Abstract excerpt
We have determined the frequency of DNA polymorphism of the gene for human apolipoprotein B detected with XbaI in 525 Israeli offspring whose parents experienced a myocardial infarction. The relative frequencies of the X1 (8.6 kb) and X2 (5.0 kb) alleles were 0.67 and 0.33, respectively, with no significant differences between males and females and across the different origin groups. Significant variation in sex,...
