Alcohol intake modulates the genetic association between HDL cholesterol and the PPARγ2 Pro12Ala polymorphism

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) Pro12Ala polymorphism affects plasma lipids, but to what extent alcohol intake interferes with this association remains unknown. We randomly recruited 251 nuclear families (433 parents and 493 offspring) in the framework of the European Projec...
