title: Restriction enzyme analysis of the apolipoprotein A-I gene in fish eye disease and Tangier disease.
abstract: Restriction enzyme analysis of the apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) gene was performed in two patients with fish eye disease and one with Tangier disease. Despite the marked deficiency of high density lipoprotein and concomitantly of apo A-I in these two conditions, no evidence was found for major deletions or insertions in the apo A-I gene.
