Cholesterol not particle concentration mediates the atherogenic risk conferred by apolipoprotein B particles: a Mendelian randomization analysis
19 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The causal contribution of apolipoprotein B (apoB) particles to coronary artery disease (CAD) is established. We examined whether this atherogenic contribution is better reflected by non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) or apoB particle concentration. METHOD AND RESULTS: We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using 235 variants as genetic instruments; testing the...
