Abstract excerpt
An extensive association analysis of a candidate gene for coronary heart disease, Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) gene, was performed. Ten polymorphisms, out of which three were newly identified in regulatory regions, were investigated for association with myocardial infarction (MI) and 2 MI endophenotypes (CETP mass and HDL-cholesterol level) in 568 MI patients and 668 controls. The polymorphisms...
