Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Despite the consistent association between cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene variation and plasma HDL-C, huge controversy still rages on its association with coronary heart disease (CHD). We investigated the association between the CETP-TaqIB polymorphism, HDL-C and incident CHD in a Mediterranean population. METHODS: A nested case-control study among participants of the Spanish EPIC...
