Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with blood low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol modestly affect lipid levels. We tested the hypothesis that a combination of such SNPs contributes to the risk of cardiovascular disease. METHODS: We studied SNPs at nine loci in 5414 subjects from the cardiovascular cohort of the Malmö Diet and...
