Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Detection of high-impact variants on lipid traits is complicated by complex genetic architecture. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) successfully identified many novel genes associated with lipid traits, it was less successful in identifying variants with a large impact on the phenotype. This is not unexpected, as the more common variants detectable by GWAS typically have small...
