“…Genotyping of the CETP gene polymorphisms: -629C=A (Eiriksdottir et al, 2001), TaqIB (Padmaja et al, 2007), and 405I=V (Wu et al, 2001); APOAI gene polymorphisms: -2500C=T (Masana et al, 2001), PstI (Masana et al, 2001), and -75G=A (Dallinga-Thie et al, 1996); CYP7A1 gene polymorphisms: -278A=C (Wang et al, 1998) and -204A=C (Couture et al, 1999); CYP3A4 gene polymorphisms: -290A=G (Cavalli et al, 2001) and F189S (Lee et al, 2005); ABCB1: 3435C=T (Tanabe et al, 2001), G2677T=A (Tanabe et al, 2001), and -41A=G (Tanabe et al, 2001) were performed by polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism assays. The genotyping of HMGCR gene polymorphisms (rs5908A=G, rs12916C=T, and SNP29G=T) and CYP7A1 rs8192871A=G was carried out by allelic discrimination assays using Taqman technology (Applied Biosystems).…”
