Table 4.

Means and SD’s of HDL subfraction cholesterol (expressed both as percentages of total HDL-C and as concentrations) for patients below and above median nonHDL-C in the high-risk and background subgroups as a function of genotypes. Also included are corresponding percentage differences (% Diff) in HDL-C subfraction cholesterol for high nonHDL-C patients in comparison to low nonHDL-C patients

	B1B1			B1B2			B2B2			B1B2 plus B2B2
