Abstract
The associations between four restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of the gene for human apolipoprotein B (apo B) and five antigen group (Ag) protein-polymorphisms of apo B have been investigated in 24 unrelated Finnish individuals. In this sample a complete correlation exists between the EcoRI RFLP and the Ag(t/z) polymorphism. There is strong association between the alleles of the XbaI RFLP and Ag(c/g) and a weaker one of the same XbaI site with Ag(x/y). Linkage disequilibrium is observed between the PvuII RFLP and the Ag(a1/d) polymorphism. These associations confirm that the Ag variants are true protein sequence polymorphisms of apo B.Entities:
