(author)The genetic basis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with its complex etiology is still largely elusive. Plasma levels of lipids and apolipoproteins are among the major quantitative risk factors for CVD and are well-established intermediate traits that may be more accessible to genetic dissection than clinical CVD end points. Chromosome 19 harbors...article 2003

Schmand, B. (author), Hooijer, C. (author), Jonker, C. (author), Lindeboom, J. (author), Havekes, L.M. (author), Gaubius instituut TNO (author)Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) allele frequencies were examined in a population-based sample (n = 475; age range 65-84 years; Amsterdam Study of the Elderly). The relation of ApoE ε4 with dementia and with various types of late-life depression was studied. Depression was measured with the Geriatric Mental State schedule. Dementia was diagnosed by DSM...article 1998

(author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author), PG (author)We have determined the allele frequencies mad pairwise linkage disequilibria of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) distributed over the entire COL2A1 gene (spanning 23 · 6 kb) in a population of unrelated Dutch Caucasians. Pairwise linkage disequilibrium analysis of RFLP sites between exon 5B and 51 indicated a high degree of...article 1996
