Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Susceptibility to severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), defined as plasma triglyceride (TG) levels ≥10 mmol/L (880 mg/dL), is conferred by both heterozygous rare variants in five genes involved in TG metabolism and numerous common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with TG levels. OBJECTIVE: To date, these genetic susceptibility factors have been comprehensively assessed primarily in...
