Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) in the metabolism of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is well studied but still controversial. More recently, genome-wide association studies and meta-analyses reported the association of a promoter variant (rs3764261) with HDL-C in Caucasians and other ethnic groups. In this study, we have examined the role of genetic variation in the...
