Abstract excerpt
Hypertriglyceridemia and hyperlipidemia are common disorders associated with coronary artery disease and premature death. The proteins encoded by the apolipoprotein (apo) A-I/C-III/A-IV gene cluster are involved in the metabolism of both triglycerides and cholesterol. In a large sample of individuals from the ARIC study, six polymorphic markers were typed and plasma lipid values were measured to determine whether...
