Abstract excerpt
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency is one of the most important and common causes of hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP) in the Japanese. CETP deficiency is thought to be a state of impaired reverse cholesterol transport, which may possibly lead to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease despite high HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Thus, it is important to investigate whether HALP...
