Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The variation of serum lipid levels can be part-related to certain genes. One such gene, SLCO1B1, encodes a transporter that may have a role in lipid metabolism. We hypothesised that differences in certain SLCO1B1 genotypes are related to levels of serum lipids. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We recruited 636 subjects who were genotyped for SLCO1B1 variants *1a, *1b, *5 and *15. Routine liver function tests,...
