Carriers of three polymorphisms of cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene are at increased risk to coronary heart disease in a Chinese population

There is a significant relation between the polymorphisms in the CETP gene and the development of CHD, and individuals homozygous or heterozygous for the −644C, 296Q, and 442G alleles of the CETP gene are at increased risk to develop CHD in this Chinese population.
