Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variants in the CETP and the LIPC genes, encoding cholesteryl ester transfer protein and hepatic lipase, respectively, are associated with high levels of HDL-cholesterol or hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP). Recently, we have identified three novel variants in the CETP promoter and two novel variants in LIPC in Thai subjects with HALP. In this study, we investigated the functions of these 5 variants in...
