Objective - The main function of hepatic lipase (HL) with respect to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is hydrolysis of phospholipids and triglycerides. The -514C -> T polymorphism in the promoter region of the hepatic lipase gene affects HL activity. We aimed to investigate the association between the frequency of the -514C -> T polymorphism of hepatic lipase (PHL) and CAD in the East Anatolian region of Turkey.
