“…Several polymorphisms in EL/LPIG have been associated with HDL-C levels (Table 1) (Hutter et al, 2006;Ma et al, 2003;Mank-Seymour et al, 2004;Paradis et al, 2003;Tang et al, 2008;YamakawaKobayashi et al, 2003). However, most of these SNPs have not been as well studied as those in CETP, LPL and EL; and, only the nonsynonymous SNP, rs2000813, has been consistently associated with HDL-C levels in African-American populations (Hutter et al, 2006;Tang et al, 2008;Yamakawa-Kobayashi et al, 2003).…”
