Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lipid levels are recognized as major risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). Discovery of major loci underlying quantitative lipid traits could help to elucidate the genetics of CHD. METHODS: We performed a genome-wide search for quantitative trait loci linked to lipid phenotypes in 1538 Chinese subjects (509 families) and 625 Japanese subjects (204 families) not taking lipid-lowering...
