RESUMO
Possible associations between coronary heart disease (CHD) and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the apo AI-CIII-AIV cluster and the apo B gene were investigated in a Brazilian population consisting of 46 patients with CHD and 24 individuals without evidence of CHD. A preliminary genetic analysis of SstI RFLP in the apo AI-CIII-AIV cluster showed a significantly higher frequency of the rare SstI allele (S2) in CHD patients as compared with controls. No significant differences were found in the frequencies of PstI RFLP in the apo AI-CIII-AIV cluster or XbaI and EcoRI RFLPs in the apo B gene between CHD patients and controls. Moreover, no association was seen between the RFLPs studied and myocardial infarction or plasma cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
