Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To identify candidate genes in relation to plasma lipid levels in Caribbean Hispanics. DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 114 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 17 lipid-related genes were genotyped in 477 Caribbean Hispanics from the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS). Analyses for each SNP and haplotype were performed to evaluate the associations with four lipid traits: high- and low-density...
