Abstract excerpt

The Hypervariable region (HVR) detected at the 3' end of the apolipoprotein B (Apo B) locus has been the subject of numerous studies. As for many VNTR (variable number of tandem repeat), this locus is highly polymorphic and until now about 20 alleles have been described. The genotype distribution...
