Abstract

New insights into low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol identify promising new directions for coronary heart disease prevention. The ATP-binding-cassette A1 gene has been identified as an important defect in genetic disorders of this lipid fraction. Recent studies indicate a benefit in treating patients with low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and suggest new clinical recommendations.
