Abstract excerpt
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is an important modulator of high density lipoprotein cholesterol in humans and thus considered to be a therapeutic target for preventing cardiovascular disease. The gene encoding CETP has been shown to be highly variable, with multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms responsible for altering both its transcription and sequence. Examining nine missense variants of CETP,...
