Influence of genetic variation at the apo A-I gene locus on lipid levels and response to diet in familial hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract excerpt

We have examined the apo AI - 75 (G/A) and apo AI + 83(MspI +/-) polymorphisms at the APOA1 gene locus for associations with plasma lipid levels and response to an NCEP-I diet in 69 (44 women, 25 men) heterozygotes for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Subjects were studied at baseline (after consuming for one month a diet with 35%, fat, 10% saturated, and 300 mg/day cholesterol) and after 3 months of an NCEP-I...
