Defining the spectrum of alleles that contribute to blood lipid concentrations in humans.

Current opinion in lipidology - 1 Apr 2008

Kathiresan Sekar, Musunuru Kiran, Orho-Melander Marju

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Recently, genome-wide genetic screening of common DNA sequence variants has proven a successful approach to identify novel genetic contributors to complex traits. This review summarizes recent genome-wide association studies for lipid phenotypes, and evaluates the next steps needed to obtain a full picture of genotype-phenotype correlation and apply these findings to inform clinical practice....
