Association between common alleles of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene region and interindividual variation in plasma lipid and apolipoprotein levels in a population-based sample from Rochester, Minnesota.

Abstract excerpt

This paper presents an analysis of the relationship between variation in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene region and interindividual variation in plasma lipid and apolipoprotein levels in a sample representative of the adult population of Rochester, Minn. (217 females and 187 males aged 26 to 63). This relationship was analyzed by estimating the average excesses of alleles of the LDLR gene defined...
