5. Associations of CETP Genotypes With CETP Phenotypes and Lipid Levels
CETP indicates cholesteryl ester transfer protein; CI, confidence interval; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. To convert apolipoproteins A-I and B to mg/dL, divide by 0.01; to convert HDL-C and LDL-C to mg/dL, divide by ; and to convert triglyercides to mg/dL, divide by Assessment of heterogeneity: I2 (95% CI) for CETP mass, CETP activity, HDL-C, apolipoprotein A-I, LDL-C, apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides, respectively, were 66% (39%-81%), 71% (44%-86%), 75% (69%-80%), 66% (46%-78%), 51% (32%-65%), 14% (0%-51%), and 49% (30%-62%) for TaqIB; 0% (0%-71%), NA*, 56% (33%-71%), 0% (0%-68%), 24% (0%-58%), 16% (0%-60%), and 0% (0%-49%) for I405V; and 71% (17%-90%), NA*, 37% (0%-61%), 36% (0%-78%), 29% (0%-63%), 0% (0%-90%), and 0% (0%-57%) for -629CA. NA* indicates I2 statistics were not calculated when there were only 2 studies.
aPooled estimates calculated by random-effects models. Estimates calculated by fixed-effect models are shown in eTable 3, available at
bStandardized mean differences.
cCalculated with reference to the weighted mean level of each marker in common homozygotes.

6. Mean Differences in HDL-C Levels Associated With CETP Genotypes, Grouped by Recorded Study Characteristics
CETP indicates cholesteryl ester transfer protein; CI, confidence interval; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. To convert HDL-C to mg/dL, divide by
Sizes of data markers are proportional to the inverse of the variance of the weighted mean difference. For sex and ethnicity, studies may have contributed data to more than 1 category. Overall estimates were calculated using random-effects models (fixed-effect estimates are provided in eTable 3, available at Several recorded characteristics explained part of the heterogeneity observed, including ethnicity (P=.008), population source (P=.04), and data source (P<.001) for TaqIB; study size (P=.02) for I405V; and ethnicity (P<.001) and population source (P=.007) for −629C>A.

7. CETP Genotypes and Coronary Risk, Grouped by Recorded Study Characteristics
CETP indicates cholesteryl ester transfer protein; CI, confidence interval. Sizes of data markers are proportional to the inverse of the variance of the loge odds ratio. For ethnicity, source of controls, and outcome assessed, studies may have contributed data to more than 1 category. For ethnicity, results are not presented for 4 studies
of TaqIB and 2 studies of I405V and −629C>A that were predominantly based in nonwhite, non−East Asian individuals. For outcome assessed in TaqIB, results are not presented for 1 study that did not provide genotype frequencies separately for cases of myocardial infarction and coronary stenosis. Assessment of heterogeneity: TaqIB (I2=18%; 95% CI, 0%-45%), I405V (I2=39%; 95% CI, 0%-66%), or −629C>A (I2=32%; 95% CI, 0%-62%). Observed heterogeneity could be partially explained by study size (P=.01) and data source (P=.003) for TaqIB and by source of controls (P<.001) for I405V (other comparisons P
.05 for each). Overall estimates were calculated using random-effects models; those calculated using fixed-effect models were 0.96 (95% CI, ) for TaqIB, 0.95 (95% CI, ) for I405V, and 0.95 (95% CI, ) for −629C>A.
