Several DNA variants at the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene locus have been found to be associated with the plasma lipid levels and the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD). In particular, the Ser447-termination (Ter) mutation at the exon 9 of the LPL gene has the potential to elevate the pl...
