Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified a number of novel genetic determinants of blood lipid concentrations in Europeans. However, it is still unclear whether these loci identified in the Caucasian GWA studies also exert the same effect on lipid concentrations in the Chinese population. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a replication study assessing associations between SNPs at...
