| Functional | "CETP transfers cholesteryl ester from high-density lipoproteins (HDCs) to LDLs in exchange for triglycerides (105)." | 10.1093/nargab/lqz012 |
| Mutation Description | "... CETP is lost in at least four independent lineages comprising a total of 33 mammals in our dataset (Figure 2A; Supplementary Figures S8 and S9)." | 10.1093/nargab/lqz012 |
| Mutation Description | "Mouse and rat share an 11 bp deletion in exon 10 and the deletion of exons 2 to 4." | 10.1093/nargab/lqz012 |
| Phenotypic | "Mutations in human CETP are associated with increased HDL cholesterol levels and reduced levels of the atherosclerosis-promoting LDL cholesterol (97,106)." | 10.1093/nargab/lqz012 |
| Other | "Interestingly, many mammals have lost both PCSK9 and CETP." | 10.1093/nargab/lqz012 |
