Genetic factors exist behind the high prevalence of reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the Roma population.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Aug 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Previous findings showed that reduced plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are more frequent in all age groups of the Hungarian Roma compared to the general population. It suggests that genetic factors may exist behind this phenomenon. Our present study was designed to test this hypothesis, i.e., to define whether genetic factors contribute to the higher prevalence of...
