title: Apolipoprotein E and A-IV polymorphisms in ethnic Russians living in Estonia.
abstract: 137 Russians living in Estonia was screened by isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting procedures to determine the distribution of genetic variations in apolipoprotein E (apoE) and apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV) genes. The apoA-IV-2 allele and epsilon4 allele frequency of the Russians tended to be lower than in most other European populations.
