The association of HDL cholesterol concentration with the −629C>A CETP promoter polymorphism is not fully explained by its relationship with plasma cholesteryl ester transfer

Abstract

This study suggests that, despite a relationship between a common CETP gene variation and plasma cholesteryl ester transfer, the association between CETP gene and HDL cholesterol appears to be at least in part unexplained by the plasma cholesteryl ester transfer process.
