CONTEXT: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a central role in lipid metabolism, hydrolyzing triglyceride in chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins. The PvuII polymorphic variant of LPL gene is common and might affect risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to determine whether LPL- PvuII polymorphism can be considered to be an independent risk factor or a predictor for CAD in Turkish...
