Abstract excerpt
Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), as a family of membrane-bound transcription factors, control the metabolism of cholesterol and fatty acids. We conducted a case-control study to investigate whether the common variants of genes from the SREBP2 activating-related pathway, involving SREBP2, SCAP, INSIG1 and INSIG2 genes, were associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) of Chinese Han population...
