Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) Deficiency and CETP Inhibitors
Epidemiologic studies have shown that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a strong risk factor, whilst high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Therefore, strategies to manage dyslipidemia in an effort to prevent or treat CHD have primarily attempted at decreasing LDL-C and raising HDL-C levels. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein ...
متن کاملRapid communication: genetic linkage and physical mapping of the porcine cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene.
Source and Description of Primers. The conserved sequences of human and rabbit cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene (CETP) (GenBank accession numbers NM000078 and M27486, respectively) were used to design primers to PCR amplify porcine CETP. The primers amplified a 970-bp fragment of porcine CETP gene spanning an intron between exon 1 and exon 2. The porcine CETP sequence (GenBank accession ...
متن کاملNovel mutations of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene in Japanese hyperalphalipoproteinemic subjects.
BACKGROUND The half of hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP) in Japan is caused by CETP gene mutations. Other than two prevalent mutations (D442G and Intron 14 splicing donor site +1G>A), some rare CETP mutations are found in Japanese HALP subjects. METHODS CETP gene analysis of genomic DNA from subjects was performed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing analysis. Muta...
متن کاملTaq1B polymorphism of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene in primary combined hyperlipidaemia.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene polymorphism is known to be associated with changes in lipid profiles. Primary hyperlipidaemia is considered to be a major risk factor for pancreatitis, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. We investigated the association of one common polymorphism in the CETP gene (Taq1B) with plasma lipid levels and CETP activity in ...
متن کاملI405V and -629C/A Polymorphisms of the Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Gene in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Background: Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) plays a main role in high-density lipoprotein metabolism. CETP gene possesses several single nucleotide polymorphisms which have been associated with plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations. The aim of this study was to determine the association of CETP -629C/A and I405V polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (...
