A common functional promoter variant links CNR1 gene expression to HDL cholesterol level
CB1 receptor blockers increase HDL-C levels. Although genetic variation in the CB1 receptor – encoded by the CNR1 gene – is known to influence HDL-C level as well, human studies conducted to date have been limited to genetic markers such as haplotype tagging SNPs. Here we identify rs806371 in the CN...
