Vasseur et al., 2007  Sequence variability screen and haplotype analysis  French Caucasian (840)  General population sample  5′ SNPs: −3608T>C, −1702C>T, −175A>G (promoter region)  NSD in allele frequency between subjects with different BMI; strong linkage disequilibrium between the SNPs, haplotypic effect attributed to −3608T>C  N/A  ↓ Plasma LDL-cholesterol level and LDL/HDL ratio; potential protection against atherogenesis  Potential association with lipid metabolism and atherogenicity
