Context The importance of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) pathway in coronary
disease is uncertain. Study of CETP genotypes can help better understand the relevance of
this pathway to lipid metabolism and disease risk. Objective To assess associations of CETP
genotypes with CETP phenotypes, lipid levels, and coronary risk. Data Sources Studies
published between January 1970 and January 2008 were identified through computer-
based and manual searches using MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS, Science Citation Index …
