Abstract excerpt
Three DNA polymorphisms (Ins/Del, XbaI and EcoRI) of the apolipoprotein B gene and their influence on body-mass index, serum lipids and apolipoprotein levels were studied in 181 healthy Indians of both sexes (121 males and 60 females), aged between 17 and 71 years. The frequencies of X+ (XbaI) and Del (Ins/Del) of the signal peptide region in Indians were found to be significantly lower (0.17 and 0.11,...
