Apolipoprotein B signal peptide insertion/deletion polymorphism is associated with Ag epitopes and involved in the determination of serum triglyceride levels.
We have investigated the insertion/deletion polymorphism in the signal peptide region of the apoB gene in 106 Finnish individuals from North Karelia. The relative frequency of the insertion allele in this sample was 0.73. Strong linkage disequilibrium was detected between this apoB insertion/deletio...
