Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that 6 nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ATP-Binding-Cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) affect risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in the general population. METHODS AND RESULTS: We genotyped 9259 individuals from the Danish general population followed for 25 years. Two SNPs (V771M and V825I) were previously associated with increases in HDL-C, 1 (R1587K)...
