The lipoprotein subfraction profile: heritability and identification of quantitative trait loci
29 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
The HDL and LDL subclass profile is an emerging cardiovascular risk factor. Yet, the biological and genetic mechanisms controlling the lipoprotein subclass distribution are unclear. Therefore, we aimed 1) to determine the heritability of the entire spectrum of LDL and HDL subclass features and 2) to identify gene loci influencing the lipoprotein subfraction pattern. Using NMR spectroscopy, we analyzed the...
