Association of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 G1051A Polymorphism with Type 2 Diabetes, Lipids and Coronary Artery Disease in Tunisian Population

Background: ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) plays a key role in lipoprotein metabolism. This metabolism is perturbated in type 2 diabetes, and was associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Thus, we aim to study the association between ABCA1 polymorphism and diabetes and the possibility to develop coronary artery disease in those patients.
