Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown an association between the TaqIB polymorphism of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene with plasma CETP and HDL concentrations and the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to determine the performance of two new fluorescence-based detection systems in the analysis of the TaqIB genotype. METHODS: CAD patients (n = 150)...
