Recent developments in genome and exome-wide analyses of plasma lipids.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genome-wide association scans (GWAS) have identified over 100 human loci associated with variation in lipids. The identification of novel genes and variants that affect lipid levels is made possible by next-generation sequencing, rare variant discovery and analytic advances. The current status of the genetic basis of lipid traits will be presented. RECENT FINDINGS: Expansion of GWAS sample...
