Haptoglobin Polymorphism in Korean Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases

We investigated the relation between hepatoglobin (Hp) polymorphism and plasma lipid levels in 913 Korean subjects. The distribution of Hp phenotypes did not show any significant differences between the healthy controls and the patients with cardiovascular disease. In the control group, however, the...

Zusammenfassung:	We investigated the relation between hepatoglobin (Hp) polymorphism and plasma lipid levels in 913 Korean subjects. The distribution of Hp phenotypes did not show any significant differences between the healthy controls and the patients with cardiovascular disease. In the control group, however, the subgroup of ≥ 50-year-olds had a significantly higher Hp*1 allele frequency than the subgroup
