The aim of this presentation is to describe statistical methods that are currently available for detecting the contribution of single genes to traits determined by both genetic and environmental factors. These traits incluse common diseases such as coronary heart disease, and quantitative risk factors such as serum concentrations of lipoproteins and apolipoproteins

By seeking DNA markers, or restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), associated with the presence of atherosclerosis in clinically relevant populations, investigators in the field of molecular genetics make use of the role played by various genetic components in the genesis of the disease to develop prognostic tests which identify those individuals who carry an underlying genetic predisposition to develop atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

The mouse provides a usful model system for examining the genetic control of lipoprotein metabolism, since, as compared to human studies, genetic and biochemical analyses are greatly simplified and environmental influences can be controlled. Here, we have compiled chromosomal maps of genes which are involved in lipid metabolism in humans and in mice

For these reasons, monkeys are the most practical and valuable primate models for studying genetic and environmental influences on lipoprotein and cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis. The biggest drawbacks to the use of these primates as genetic models are: 1) the expense and complications of maintenance, and 2) the long gestation time and propensity to single births, factors which make genetic studies in monkeys infrequent and difficult
