Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SCARB1) plays an important role in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) metabolism in selective cholesteryl ester uptake and in free cholesterol cellular efflux. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study aims to identify common (minor allele frequency ≥5%) and low-frequency/rare (minor allele frequency <5%) variants, using resequencing all 13 exons and exon-intron...
