Abstract excerpt
We studied the association between common haplotypes in six relevant lipid metabolism genes with plasma lipid levels. We selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hepatic triglyceride lipase (HL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) genes, and...
