Common cholesteryl ester transfer protein mutations, decreased HDL cholesterol, and possible decreased risk of ischemic heart disease: The Copenhagen City Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL in exchange for triglycerides in apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 2 common mutations in CETP, A373P and R451Q, in 8467 healthy women and men from the Danish general population and in 1636 Danish women and men with ischemic heart disease. The prevalen...
متن کاملElevated HDL cholesterol is a risk factor for ischemic heart disease in white women when caused by a common mutation in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene.
BACKGROUND The level of HDL cholesterol is inversely related to the risk of ischemic heart disease. METHODS AND RESULTS In 9168 women and men from a general population and 946 women and men with ischemic heart disease (all white), we tested the hypothesis that the Ile405Val mutation in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene (CETP) affects HDL cholesterol levels and the risk of ischemic h...
متن کاملApolipoprotein composition of HDL in cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency.
Our purpose was to compare HDL subpopulations, as determined by nondenaturing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting for apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apoA-II, apoA-IV, apoCs, and apoE in heterozygous, compound heterozygous, and homozygous subjects for cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency and controls. Heterozygotes, compound heterozygotes, and homozygotes...
متن کاملEffects of an inhibitor of cholesteryl ester transfer protein on HDL cholesterol.
BACKGROUND Decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels constitute a major risk factor for coronary heart disease; however, there are no therapies that substantially raise HDL cholesterol levels. Inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) has been proposed as a strategy to raise HDL cholesterol levels. METHODS We conducted a single-blind, placebo-controlled study t...
متن کاملProtein-Truncating Variants at the Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Gene and Risk for Coronary Heart Disease.
RATIONALE Therapies that inhibit CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) have failed to demonstrate a reduction in risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Human DNA sequence variants that truncate the CETP gene may provide insight into the efficacy of CETP inhibition. OBJECTIVE To test whether protein-truncating variants (PTVs) at the CETP gene were associated with plasma lipid levels and CH...
