MN blood group affects response of serum LDL cholesterol level to a low fat diet.

Clinical genetics - 1 May 1997

Birley A J, MacLennan R, Wahlqvist M, Gerns L, Pangan T, Martin N G

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies found that MZ twin pairs who are blood group NN have greater intrapair variability in plasma lipid levels than those who are MM or MN. This led to the prediction that the response of plasma lipid levels to a low fat diet would depend on MN blood group, the greatest response being...
