, PPARD encodes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta, which has been shown to play an important role in controlling lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis. In this case-control study, we explored the relationship between PPARD rs2016520 polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD) in a Han Chinese population. A total of 657 CHD cases and 640 controls were included in the association study. rs2016520 polymorphism genotyping was performed using the melting temperature-shift polymerase chain reaction method.
