The Complex Genetic Basis of Plasma Triglycerides
Abstract
Demonstration of a direct relationship between plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration and atherosclerosis has proven difficult due to confounding variables that accompany elevated plasma TG, such as other dyslipidemias, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. However, human genetic studies have provided evidence suggesting a causal link between plasma TG and cardiovascular risk. Analyses in human patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) also provides …
