Abstract excerpt
High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is inversely associated with coronary heart disease and has a genetic component; however, linkage to HDL-C is not conclusive. Subfractions of HDL, such as HDL(3)-C, may be better phenotypes for linkage studies. Using HDL(3)-C levels measured on 907 Framingham Heart Study subjects from 330 families around 1987, we conducted a genome-wide variance components linkage...
