Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Inhibitors of apolipoprotein C-III (apoC3) are currently approved for the reduction of triglyceride levels in patients with Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome. We used drug target Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the effect of genetically predicted decrease in apoC3 blood protein levels on cardiometabolic traits and diseases. METHODS: We quantified lifelong reductions in apoC3 blood...
