Methods and reagents for RFLP analysis of the human pancreatic cholesterol esterase gene

摘要

This invention relates to the identification of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) of the human pancreatic cholesterol esterase gene. Specifically, the invention relates to the use of RFLP analysis for identifying individuals with a particular genetic variant of the human pancreatic cholesterol esterase gene. The invention also relates to treatment of individuals with therapeutic drugs for the prevention or alleviation of disease states in a human related to cholesterol metabolism.
