Abstract excerpt
The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene encodes a hydrophobic glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in the reverse transport of cholesterol. The aim of the present study was to determine whether CETP polymorphisms (rs1532624, rs247616 and rs708272) are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Polish population. Serum lipid levels and single nucleotide polymorphisms of CETP genes were...
