“…In the Korean population, the B1B1 homozygote of the CETP TaqIB polymorphism is associated with low HDL-C levels in females and non-smoking males, and may be an independent genetic risk factor of CAD (Park et al, 2003). It was also reported that the B2B2 genotype in CETP TaqIB polymorphism may act as a protective factor against atherosclerosis in Japanese ( Goto et al, 2001). The results of this study also agree with these previous reports in different racial populations.…”

“…The associations of TaqIB with various parameters is generally thought to arise from strong linkage disequilibrium between TaqIB and the -C629A polymorphism, of which the latter has been shown to directly affect CETP promoter activity (46)(47)(48). Significant associations of the B1B1 genotype with higher plasma CETP concentration and/or CETP activity and lower HDL-c levels were found in several studies (43,45,(49)(50)(51), but this was not consistently observed (40,(52)(53)(54). Furthermore, it has been reported that the effects of TaqIB on the above parameters are gender-dependent and also influenced by alcohol use, body mass index, and insulin levels (40,43,49,(55)(56)(57).…”

“…The less-common allele of this SNP has been shown to be associated with lower CETP and higher HDL levels across numerous studies and populations with highly significant P values (45,49,53,60,. Only in studies with small test populations has neither CETP nor HDL been affected in a statistically significant manner (43,(93)(94)(95)(96)(97)(98)(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105)(106)(107). Since it is not immediately apparent how this SNP could modulate CETP expression, it has long been suspected that this SNP is linked with another change that more directly affects expression.…”
