Abstract

A polymorphism of the CETP gene (CETP/TaqIB) with two alleles B1 (60%) and B2 (40%) has been investigated in relation to lipid variables and the risk of myocardial infarction in a large case-control study (ECTIM) of men aged 25-64. No association was observed between the polymorphism and LDL or VLDL...
