Abstract excerpt
The ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1) protein regulates plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Mutations in ABCA1 can cause HDL deficiency and increase the risk of premature coronary artery disease. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ABCA1 are associated with variation in plasma HDL levels. We investigated the prevalence of mutations and common SNPs in ABCA1 in 154 low-HDL individuals and 102 high-HDL...
