Allelic and phenotypic spectrum of plasma triglycerides
Abstract
The genetic underpinnings of both normal and pathological variation in plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration are relatively well understood compared to many other complex metabolic traits. For instance, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed 32 common variants that are associated with plasma TG concentrations in healthy epidemiologic populations. Furthermore, GWAS in clinically ascertained hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) patients have …
