Abstract excerpt
This study investigated in a healthy population (n = 220) the association of the TaqI B restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene with plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration and subfraction distribution. A raised...
