Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Using the genome-wide association approach in individuals of European ancestry, we and others recently identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 19 loci as associated with blood lipids; 8 of these loci were novel. Whether these same SNPs associate with lipids in a broader range of ethnicities is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We genotyped index SNPs at 19 loci in the Third United States...
