Abstract excerpt
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size is a genetically influenced trait associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). This study investigates the effects of genetic variation in plasma factors with important roles in lipoprotein metabolism on LDL heterogeneity. Common variants in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP-629C/A), lipoprotein lipase (LPL S447X), hepatic lipase (HL-480C/T) and...
