Heritabilities of Apolipoprotein and Lipid Levels in Three Countries

2002-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract This study investigated the influence of genes and environment on the variation of apolipoprotein and lipid levels, which are important intermediate phenotypes in the pathways toward cardiovascular disease. Heritability estimates are presented, including those for apolipoprotein E and AII levels which have rarely been reported before. We studied twin samples from the Netherlands (two cohorts; n = 160 pair...
