Genome-wide linkage analysis of population variation in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Abstract excerpt

Lower plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are associated with the metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension) and higher cardiovascular risk. Recent association studies have suggested rare alleles responsible for very low HDL-C levels. However, for individual cardiovascular risk factors, the majority of population-attributable deaths are associated with average rather...
