Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genome-Wide Association Studies have provided robust identification of approximately 100 genetic loci determining plasma lipid parameters. Using these multiple common genetic lipid-determining variants in a 'gene score' has thrown new light on the mode of inheritance of familial lipid disorders. RECENT FINDINGS: Different hypertriglyceridaemia states have been explained by the polygenic...
