Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that CETP and LIPC mutations contribute to hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP) in some populations. We investigated whether activities in cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and hepatic lipase (HL) contribute to HALP in the Thai population and performed genetic analyses of the CETP and LIPC genes. We recruited 38 individuals with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels...
