OBJECTIVE: A low level of plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a major risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis. To identify novel genes regulating plasma HDL-C levels, we investigated 13 multigenerational French Canadian families with an average of 12 affected individuals per family for genome-wide signals, which we subsequently fine mapped.
