Polymorphisms in the Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor α Gene Are Associated with Levels of Apolipoprotein CIII and Triglyceride in African-Americans But Not Caucasians

摘要

BackgroundWe tested whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PPARα gene (PPARA) are associated with variations in levels of plasma apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) levels, as well as other lipids and lipoproteins in African-Americans and Caucasians.
