Polymorphisms in the gene encoding lipoprotein lipase in men with low HDL-C and coronary heart disease

Polymorphisms in the gene encoding lipoprotein lipase in men with low HDL-C and coronary heart disease

Our goal was to further define the role of LPL gene polymorphisms in coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. We determined the frequencies of three LPL polymorphisms (D9N, N291S, and S447X) in 899 men from the Veterans Affairs HDL Intervention Trial (VA-HIT), a study that examined the potential benefits...
