Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) size is associated with vascular disease and with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). METHODS AND RESULTS: We used logarithm of odds (lod) score and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) linkage analysis methods to perform a 10-cM genome scan of LDL size, measured as peak particle diameter (PPD) and adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and triglycerides in 4...
