[Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency and increased HDL cholesterol levels (hyperalphalipoproteinemia)].

Abstract excerpt

Four different CETP gene mutations have been identified as causes of increased levels of HDL cholesterol by us and other investigators; two splice donor site mutations involving intron 14, one missense mutation of D442G in exon 15, and one nonsense mutation of Q309X in exon 10. Two splice donor s...
