Summary
We have isolated a cDNA probe for human apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) and used two DNA polymorphisms detected by this probe to analyse the inheritance of the apoAI gene in families informative for apoAIV protein variants. We have thereby increased the lod score for this linkage from 3.01 to 6.32 at a recombination fraction of zero.
