Phenotypic characterization of the Ath-1 gene controlling high density lipoprotein levels and susceptibility to atherosclerosis.

The Ath-1 gene determines the levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) lipid in response to a high fat diet challenge as well as susceptibility to diet-induced atherosclerosis in mice (Paigen et al. 1987. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 84: 3763-3767). As yet, the identity of the Ath-1 gene and how it a...
