These types of studies lay the foundation for understanding the human
apolipoproteins at the genetic level. In addition, through a few specific
examples, we have already shown evidence at the DNA level that lesions in
apolipoprotein genes can play a role in human atherosclerosis. This work is
in its infancy, but we hope it will have a major impact on our ability to
understand genetic susceptibility to atherosclerosis in the general
population.
