Linkage disequilibrium of three polymorphic RFLP markers in the apolipoprotein AI-CIII gene cluster on chromosome 11.
Article in Human genetics, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We analysed the allelic and genotypic frequencies of three restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the region of chromosome 11 encoding apolipoprotein AI and CIII genes in a free-living population from South Italy (Calabria). These markers are located at -2500 and -78 bp from the transcription start site of apolipoprotein AI gene (XmnI and MspI, respectively), and in the 3' untranslated region of apolipoprotein CIII gene (SstI). XmnI and SstI label rare alleles (X2 and S2 indicate the presence of the site), whereas the absence of the MspI site (because of a G to A transition) marks the rare allele, M2. Pairwise linkage disequilibrium analysis was determined. Two significant non-random associations were found: a positive disequilibrium between ApoA1/XmnI and ApoA1/MspI markers (P < 0.0001), and a negative disequilibrium between ApoA1/XmnI and ApoC3/SstI markers (P < 0.05). Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the S2-M2 haplotype frequency between the group of subjects with serum cholesterol levels in the highest decile (P < 0.005) and the group with serum cholesterol levels below the highest decile. The allelic frequency for each locus showed no significant difference between the two groups for all other metabolic parameters, included total cholesterol serum levels. These haplotypes are a more precise measure of genetic variations in the apolipoprotein cluster and their use should allow the mapping of mutations responsible for high serum cholesterol levels.
