Epipolymorphisms within lipoprotein genes contribute independently to plasma lipid levels in familial hypercholesterolemia
6 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Gene polymorphisms associated so far with plasma lipid concentrations explain only a fraction of their heritability, which can reach up to 60%. Recent studies suggest that epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation) could contribute to explain part of this missing heritability. We therefore assessed whether the DNA methylation of key lipoprotein metabolism genes is associated with high-density lipoprotein...
