Genetic analysis of a polymorphism in the human apolipoprotein A-I gene promoter: effect on plasma HDL-cholesterol levels.
Previous studies have indicated that a G to A substitution at position -76 in the gene encoding apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) confers increased plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Increased HDL-C may be a direct consequence of the A allele, or may reflect the action of a locus in link...
