Hypervariability in a minisatellite 3' of the apolipoprotein B gene: Allelic distribution and influence on lipid profiles in Han Children from central China

This study identified the higher repeat alleles as potential risk factor for dyslipidemia in Han children from Central China. Although five Chinese populations demonstrated uniformly unimodal distributions of allelic frequencies with the main peaks at HVE32-HVE37, there was obvious heterogeneity among these populations.
