Abstract excerpt

Systematic sequencing of the coding and exon flanking regions of the apolipoprotein (apo) A-I gene has identified a new polymorphic Msp I site (C C/T-GG). This polymorphism is situated between the transcriptional starting site and the signal peptide start coding site (intron 1), so may influence...
