Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP) is inversely correlated with coronary heart disease (CHD) although genetic variants associated with high serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) have not been shown to be cardioprotective. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to uncover novel genetic variants associated with HALP and possibly with reduced risk of CHD. METHODS: Exome sequencing...
