NPC1L1 haplotype is associated with inter-individual variation in plasma low-density lipoprotein response to ezetimibe

BACKGROUND: NPC1L1 encodes a putative intestinal sterol transporter which is the likely target for ezetimibe, a new type of lipid-lowering medication. We previously reported rare non-synonymous mutations in NPC1L1 in an individual who had no plasma lipoprotein response to ezetimibe. We next hypothes...
