Abstract
In man, apolipoprotein A-IV is characterized by a genetically determined polymorphism controlled by two codominant alleles. Two isoforms of this apolipoprotein, designated A-IV-1 and A-IV-2, can be identified by isoelectric focusing. Among 1000 healthy factory workers participating in an epidemiological study, A-IV-1 (genotype 1-1) was observed in 85%; A-IV-2 (genotype 2-2), in 0.5%; and A-IV-1 in combination with A-IV-2 (genotype 1–2), in 14%. In four nonrelated subjects, an apolipoprotein A-IV variant (A-IV-Münster), characterized by a slightly more basic isoelectric focusing behavior than A-IV-2, was detected in combination either with A-IV-1 or A-IV-2. Mendelian inheritance of this variant could be demonstrated.Keywords
