Abstract

Over the past decade lowering of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels has been established as the foundation for preventing coronary artery disease, but substantial additional risk reduction remains to be gained by modifying risk factors other than low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Raising high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels by inhibiting activity of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a prime target. Research on naturally occurring variants in the CETP gene has yielded numerous insights that have been relevant for understanding lipoprotein metabolism, and crucial to the development of pharmacological CETP inhibition. This review discusses a number of recently published studies, including a haplotype analysis of the CETP promoter region confirming that the -629 C-->A variant, not the TaqIB variant, is instrumental in determining CETP activity, as previously suggested. In addition, we discuss a recent meta-analysis which confirms that the I405V and TaqIB variants are indeed associated with lower CETP activity and higher high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. Also, we review two subanalyses of large randomized controlled pravastatin trials which found no evidence for a proposed pharmacogenetic ...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
