Abstract excerpt
The TaqIB polymorphism in intron 1 of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene is associated with plasma CETP concentration, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and coronary artery disease (CAD). These associations are generally thought to arise from linkage disequilibrium betw...
