Association between <i>Hae</i>III polymorphism of scavenger receptor class B type I gene and plasma HDL-cholesterol concentration

Abstract

Allele frequencies of the AluI and ApaI polymorphisms in this study were different to those in a Caucasian population studied previously, suggesting a difference in the genetic background. Further comparative studies of SR-BI polymorphism in other racial or ethnic groups should therefore prove to be of value.
