Abstract excerpt
We conducted a genome-wide linkage scan for quantitative trait loci influencing total HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration in a sample of 1027 whites from 101 families participating in the NHLBI Family Heart Study. To maximize the relative contribution of genetic components of variance to the total variance of HDL-C, the HDL-C phenotype was adjusted for age, age(2), body mass index, and Family Heart Study field...
