Abstract excerpt
This study was performed to determine the relationship between the two common polymorphisms of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene and LDL size in Japanese individuals. The LDL size was determined by gradient gel electrophoresis in 136 patients undergoing routine check-ups. The presence of two polymorphisms (I405V and Taq1B) was determined using PCR-based methods. The VV genotype for the I405V...
