Identification of mutations in the ATP binding cassette transporter (ABCA1) gene in patients with Tangier disease, who exhibit reduced HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein Al (apoA1) levels and premature coronary atherosclerosis, has led to the hypothesis that common polymorphisms in the ABCA1 gene could determine HDL-C and apoA1 levels and the risk of coronary atherosclerosis in the general population. We sequenced a 660-bp 5 ' fragment of the ABCA1 gene in 24 subjects and identified 3 novel polymorphisms: -477C/T, -419A/C, and -320G/C. We developed assays, genotyped 372 participants in the prospective Lipoprotein Coronary Atherosclerosis Study (LCAS), and determined the association of the variants with fasting plasma lipids and indices of quantitative coronary angiograms obtained at baseline and 2.5 years after randomization to fluvastatin or placebo. Distribution of -477C/T and -320G/C genotypes were 127 CC, 171 CT, and 74 TT and 130 GG, 168 GC, and 75 CIC, respectively, and were in complete linkage disequilibrium (P
