Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We aimed to characterize common genetic variants that influence saturated fatty acid concentrations in East Asians. METHODS: Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for circulating SFAs was conducted in two population-based cohorts comprising 3521 participants of Chinese ancestry. RESULTS: We identified two novel 14:0-associated loci at LMX1A (LIM homeobox transcription factor 1) and AMPD3 (AMP...
