Abstract
Polymorphisms in genes related to lipid metabolism, specifically apolipoproteins B, CII, E, and apoAIV, have been identified. Presence or absence of these polymorphisms in particular individuals may be correlated with propensity to show symptoms of atherosclerosis. Also thus correlated are two insertion polymorphisms 5' of the insulin gene.
