[HTML][HTML] Replication of genetic associations with plasma lipoprotein traits in a multiethnic sample [S]
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have reproducibly identified loci
associated with plasma triglycerides (TG), HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol. We sought
to replicate these findings in a multiethnic population-based cohort using the curated single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) set found on the new Illumina cardiovascular disease
(CVD) beadchip, which contains approximately 50,000 SNPs densely mapping
approximately 2,100 genes, selected based on their potential role in CVD. The sample …
