title: Population study of apolipoprotein A-IV polymorphism and report of a new variant in Japanese.
abstract: Genetic variants of human apolipoprotein A-IV (ApoA-IV) were investigated in 614 healthy Japanese individuals. The allele frequencies were estimated as ApoA-IV*1 = 0.9984 and ApoA-IV*2 = 0.0016. In addition, a new variant ApoA-IV*Tokyo was observed in a paternity material.
