For each pair of CETP gene polymorphisms, four coefficients are given, representing the four race/ethnicities, in the order: (W) white or Caucasian; (C) Chinese; (AA) African-American; and (H) Hispanic. A dashed line (---) indicates the rare allele of that polymorphism was not present in the indicated race/ethnicity, therefore no comparison is possible.
