Variation in the APOA5 gene has been shown to be associated with triglyceride levels in
several independent population studies. It was our objective to determine if a relationship
existed between selected genotypes or haplotypes of the APOA5 gene and findings on
selective coronary angiography (SCA) in an independent cohort. The Vancouver SCA
Cohort consists of individuals referred for angiography between 1993 and 1995. DNA was
