Abstract excerpt
The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon3/epsilon2/epsilon4, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) TaqIB, and apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) -482 C>T have been associated with an atherogenic lipid profile and, in some studies, with increased cardiovascular risk. However, no data exist on their combined impact on atherosclerotic disease. We therefore aimed at investigating the...
