Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the genetic variants of apolipoprotein A1: MspI polymorphisms in non translated region at -75bp upstream and +83bp in the first intron, had any impact on the development of CAD. A total of 400 unrelated adult subjects were enrolled in the study (200 CAD patients & 200 CAD-free controls) from the Kashmir region. Plasma levels of lipids were estimated for each sample by using photometric system. DNA extracted from blood samples was amplified by means of polymerase chain reaction, and then subjected to RFLP by using MspI enzyme; resolving the product on 3% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide, and visualized under UV light. The G ?A substitution at
