Abstract excerpt
The identification of DNA sequence variants underlying human complex phenotypes remains a significant challenge for several reasons: individual variants can have small phenotypic effects or low population frequencies, and multiple allelic variants may act in concert to affect a trait. We evaluated the combined effect of allelic variants in seven genes involved in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism, using...
