title: The Lp lipoprotein in Japanese.
abstract: The Lp gene frequency is estimated to be 0.083 in Japanese, but with our method of assay the evidence favoring a major locus is marginal. The sinking pre-beta band is significantly associated with elevated cholesterol and depressed triglyceride. The biological significance of these observations is discussed.
