Abstract excerpt
The interrelationships among low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size, plasma triglyceride (TG), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are well established and may involve underlying genetic influences. This study evaluated common genetic effects on LDL size, TG, and HDL-C by using data from 85 kindreds participating in the Genetic Epidemiology of Hypertriglyceridemia (GET) Study. A multivariate,...
