Multiple susceptibility loci at chromosome 11q23.3 are associated with plasma triglyceride in East Asians.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic studies of plasma TG levels have identified associations with multiple candidate loci on chromosome11q23.3, which harbors a number of genes, including BUD13, ZNF259, and APOA5-A4-C3-A1. This study aimed to examine whether these multiple candidate genes on the 11q23.3 regions exert independent effects on TG levels or whether their effects are confounded by linkage disequilibrium (LD). We performed a...
