The C-565T Polymorphism (rs2422493) of the ATP-binding Cassette Transporter A1 Gene Contributes to the Development and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in an Iranian Population
Objectives: ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a pivotal role in reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues back to the liver. Abnormalities in ABCA1 function may lead to dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the role of C-565T (rs2422493) promoter polymorphism of ABC …
