Abstract excerpt
To identify genes that influence plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, and high-density and low-density lipoproteins concentrations we conducted a genome-wide scan using 354 polymorphic markers spaced at 10-cM intervals in 75 obese but otherwise normal human families. The results of the genome scan using sibling pair analysis of quantitative phenotypes suggested that 1q21-q23 contains a locus that influences plasma...
