Abstract excerpt
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is thought to regulate plasma HDL. Patients with CETP deficiency caused by mutation of the CETP gene [D442G; a missense mutation (Asp442-->Gly)] have been reported to show high plasma HDL levels. However, there are no data available on children with D442G. To determine the effects of plasma CETP and CETP gene mutation (D442G) on lipids and lipoproteins in children, we...
