Study of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) I405v Genotype and Its Association with Lipid Fractions in Myocardial Infarction Patients: A Case Control Study.

Objectives: We determine the significant relation of HDL cholesterol and total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol between CETP I405V genotypes and activity of CETP. CETP is an essential for transfer of cholesterol ester to the liver from peripheral tissues which facilitating its transfer to TG rich VLDL. Reduction activity of CETP I405V may associate with genotypes of CETP I405V.
