Racial differences in the distribution of a low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) polymorphism and its association with serum lipoprotein, lipid and apolipoprotein levels.

Abstract excerpt

The low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) is a cell receptor that has close structural homology to the LDL and very low density lipoprotein receptors and thus is believed to play an important role in lipid metabolism. This study was carried out to evaluate the distribution of a known tetranucleotide repeat polymorphism in the LRP gene and its association with serum lipoprotein-lipid and...
