Abstract excerpt

Non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), are increasing in African populations. High serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) levels are a known risk factor for CVDs in European populations, but the link remains poorly understood among Africans. This study investigated the associations between serum LDL-cholesterol levels and selected variants in the low density...
