The genetic effect of the apoprotein AV gene on the serum triglyceride level in Japanese
T Nabika, S Nasreen, S Kobayashi, J Masuda - Atherosclerosis, 2002 - Elsevier
The newly identified apoprotein AV (apoAV) gene was suggested to have a significant effect
on triglyceride (TG) metabolism in Caucasians. We studied the genetic effect of this gene on
serum TG in a Japanese population. Participants (481 male and 412 female) were recruited
at a health examination. AT/C single nucleotide polymorphism called SNP3 in the 5′-
region of the apoAV gene was genotyped as described previously. The frequency of the C
allele was much greater in Japanese than in Caucasians (0.34 vs. 0.08). The serum TG level …
