Abstract excerpt
The ATP-binding cassette transporter-1 (ABCA1) mediates cholesterol efflux and genotypic variation in ABCA1 and may impact reverse cholesterol transport and influence cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, although mutations in ABCA1 have generally been identified with low HDL-C, few have undertaken a comparative evaluation between high and low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). Therefore, to...
