The effect of variation at the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene locus and in the apolipoprotein (apo) AI-CIII-AIV gene cluster on the susceptibility of individuals with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) to atherosclerotic vascular disease was studied in 136 male and 122 female patients with NIDDM.
