Abstrakt: 60 of 83 middle-aged white men had an XbaI restriction site polymorphism within the coding sequence of the apolipoprotein B gene. Subjects homozygous and heterozygous for the presence of an XbaI restriction site had mean serum triglyceride levels 36% higher (p = 0.02) than those in homozygotes without the restriction site; there was a less substantial difference (p = 0.03) in serum cholesterol. The findings supported a dominant pattern of inheritance. The presence of this restriction site may increase the risk of atherosclerotic disease.
