Variation in CETP has been shown to play an important role in HDL-C levels and cardiovascular disease. To better characterize this variation, the promoter and exonic DNA for CETP was resequenced in 189 individuals with extreme HDL-C or age. Two novel amino acid variants were found in humans (V-12D and Y361C) and an additional variant (R137W) not previously studied in vitro were expressed. D-12 was not secreted...
