Abstract
The human adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1)gene is highly polymorphic.Some polymorphisms in promoters(rs2422493, rs2740483, etc.)and exons(rs2230806, rs4149313, etc.)have been reported to be significantly associated with coronary heart disease(CHD). In terms of the underlying mechanisms, ABCA1 gene polymorphisms might be associated with CHD through modulating the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and other lipids, or through changing ABCA1 protein structure and function.In this article, the association of ABCA1 gene polymorphisms with CHD and the underlying mechanisms are reviewed. Key words: Carrier proteins; Polymorphism, single nucleotide; Coronary heart disease
