Abstract excerpt

New approaches to the study of the genetics of premature coronary heart disease (CHD) have been made possible by the introduction of DNA probes for the apolipoproteins, the receptors and enzymes involved in lipid transport. Initially these were used to identify restriction fragment length polymor...
