BACKGROUND: The potential role of scavenger receptor class BI (gene name SCARB1) in the regulation of lipoproteins metabolism and atherosclerosis has attracted considerable interest. We tested the relationship of SCARB1 polymorphisms with significant coronary stenosis (SCS) and lipid profile in a coronary Tunisian population. METHODS: Three SCARB1 polymorphisms (exon8 (C/T), exon1 (G/A), intron5 (C/T)) were...
