Abstract excerpt
The Del allele of the apolipoprotein B (apoB) signal peptide (SP) insertion/deletion (Ins/Del) polymorphism has been shown to be associated with elevated plasma levels of apoB, cholesterol and low density lipoprotein. It was the aim of the present study to analyse the relation of this gene variat...
