Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a novel locus for plasma triglyceride (TG) levels on chromosome 1p31-32 by genome-wide linkage analysis in the GeneQuest population with familial and premature coronary artery disease (CAD). Here we tested a hypothesis that variants in LRP8, a gene that is under the 1p31-32 linkage peak and associated with risk of familial and premature CAD and increased platelet activation, are...
