Frequency and function of CETP variants among individuals of Asian ancestry.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation in CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) has been clearly associated with HDL cholesterol levels but its association with cardiovascular disease and related phenotypes has been more controversial, possibly due to variability of polymorphisms and their frequencies across different ethnic populations. To see if there are undetected polymorphisms affecting protein sequence in individuals of...
