title: Influence of the APOC3 -2854T>G polymorphism on plasma lipid levels: effect of age and gender.
abstract: The APOC3 -2854T>G polymorphism lies in the APOC3-A4 intergenic region. In a group of healthy adults, this polymorphism was associated with circulating triglycerides, with 55% lower fasting levels in the homozygous wild-type (TT) compared to the homozygous rare allele (GG) genotype. Age and gender had a significant impact on genotype-triglyceride interactions.
