Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: We recently identified a locus on chromosome 18q11.2 for high serum triglycerides in Mexicans. We hypothesize that the lead genome-wide association study single-nucleotide polymorphism rs9949617, or its linkage disequilibrium proxies, regulates 1 of the 5 genes in the triglyceride-associated region. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We performed a linkage disequilibrium analysis and found 9 additional variants in...
