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...
