Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease (CAD) as an important cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SCARB1) plays an essential role in the reverse cholesterol transport. We have explored the association between a genetic variant, rs5888, in the SCARB1 gene with CAD and serum HDL-C levels. METHODS: Patients were categorized into two groups' angiogram positive (>50% coronary...
