Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and derived haplotypes within multiple genes may explain genetic variance in complex traits; however, this hypothesis has not been rigorously tested. In an earlier study we analyzed six genes and have now expanded this investigation to include 13. We studied 250 families including 1054 individuals and measured lipid phenotypes. We focused on low-density cholesterol (LDL),...
