title: Genetics of the Lp lipoprotein in Japanese-Americans.
abstract: Segregation analysis of four Lp assays on 557 children in 227 families reveals a dominant major gene and a residual heritable component that may reflect one or more alleles of weaker effect. Close or moderate linkage to esterase-D (ESD) is excluded.
