Abstract excerpt
The relation between TaqI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene and plasma lipid and lipoprotein phenotypes was investigated in a sample of Italian and Greek migrants of both sexes, age 40-69 years. Italians display significantly higher mean triglyceride and lower mean high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels than Greeks. Greek females...
