Abstract excerpt
Hepatic lipase (LIPC) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) are important components of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport. Therefore, their genes are promising candidate genes for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether combined LIPC -514C/T and CETP I405V polymorphisms correlate with angiographically documented coronary...
