pubmed:abstractText |
The most widely studied variation at the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene locus is a silent base change called the Thermobius aquaticus IB (TaqIB) polymorphism. TaqIB has been shown to affect levels/activity of CETP, plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and to contribute to the risk of developing atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). Ongoing studies are investigating possible associations between CETP gene polymorphisms and the development of coronary restenosis following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and stenting.
