Novel mutations of CETP gene in Italian subjects with hyeralphalipoproteinemia

2009

Abstract Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma glycoprotein that catalyses the transfer of cholesteryl esters from HDL to the other plasma lipoproteins. Genetic deficiency of CETP is one of the known causes of elevation of plasma HDL-C (primary hyperalphalipoproteinemia, HALP). We sequenced CETP gene in a group of 24 Italian subjects with primary HALP (HDL-C>80 mg/dl) suspected to have CETP deficiency. Two unrelated subjects both coming from the same geographical district, were found to be heterozygous for a nucleotide substitution in exon 6 (c.544C>T) and another subject was found to be heterozygous for a C>T transition in exon 9 (c.802C>T). Both mutations introduce a prema…
