Abstract excerpt
Elevated circulating levels of high-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein AI are associated with reduced coronary artery disease risk. We have shown that a C to T substitution at +83 bp and a G to A substitution at -75 bp of the apolipoprotein AI gene are both related to increased high-density l...
