Abstract excerpt
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), as a candidate gene for dyslipoproteinemia and coronary heart disease, was studied in 105 men with low plasma concentrations of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and established coronary heart disease as well as in 515 randomly selected men and women.
