A Japanese group comprising 53 hyperlipidemic and 54 normolipidemic subjects was genotyped for DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at the apo B gene locus. The polymorphisms with XbaI and PvuII were present at allelic frequencies of 0.04 (X1 allele) and 0.96 (X2 allele), 0.94 (P1 allele) and 0.06 (P2 allele), respectively. Unlike the previous reported association of the X1 allele with hypercholesterolemia found in Caucasians there was no difference in the frequency of the X1 allele between normolipidemic and hypercholesterolemic Japanese. Among the Japanese, two RFLPs appear to be in linkage equilibrium and can be used in conjunction as a haplotype. There is no strong population association in our patient group between any allele of the RFLPs studied and hyperlipidemia.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
