Abstract excerpt
Coronary heart disease (CHD) in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) may be modified by genetic and/or environmental factors. We described the effect of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene on CHD in heterozygous FH caused by low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) gene mutation. In 288 unrelated Japanese subjects with heterozygous FH, the allele frequency of an intron 14 G(+1)-to-A mutation (Int14...
