A G- to A-DNA sequence change in exon 26 of the human apolipoprotein B (apo B) gene leads to a glutamine substitution for arginine at codon 3611 of the mature apolipo-protein B100 and causes a loss of an MspI site. In 106 Finnish individuals, a complete correspondence exists between this MspI polymorphic site and the Ag (h/i) immunochemical polymorphism. Linkage disequilibrium was found between this MspI polymorphic site and the apo B XbaI and EcoRI variable sites and the Ag (al/d) and (c/g) epitope pairs; there is apparent linkage equilibrium with the apo B PvuII variable site. Based on three population studies (samples from London. Finland and Italy), no significant association was found between this RFLP and serum cholesterol and apo B levels. These data suggest that the arginine 3611----glutamine 3611 substitution has no significant effect on apo B function.

pubmed:articleTitle
Apolipoprotein B amino acid 3611 substitution from arginine to glutamine creates the Ag (h/i) epitope: the polymorphism is not associated with differences in serum cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels.
