Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The associations of scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SCARB1) rs5888 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and serum lipid levels are inconsistant among diverse ethnic populations. The present study was undertaken to detect the association of rs5888 SNP and serum lipid levels in the Guangxi Mulao and Han populations. METHODS: Genotypes of the SCARB1 rs5888 SNP in 801 subjects of Mulao and 807 subjects...
