TheCEPT gene (Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein) is associated with Cholesterol. . Is responsible for controlling the levels of cholesterol and fat in the blood, and which can help remove excess cholesterol out of the body. It was connected to longevity in some populations. Post yo alleles.
rs5882:
A = High CETP activity
G = Low CETP activity
he “A” allele is associated with:
Decreased risk of early-onset myocardial infarction (men)
High levels of serum HDL concentrations in adolescents
The “G” allele is associated with:
High HDL levels
Decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, as well as slower rate of memory decline
Increased risk of myocardial infarction (men)
Increased risk for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) (Chinese Han)
Structure of white matter in the brain
Lower triglyceride concentrations
rs708272:
Mechanisms:
High CETP activity (G)
Low CETP activity (A)
The “A” allele is associated with:
Increased HDL levels
