Conjoint high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol across generations. Analysis of proband hypertriglyceridemia and lipid/lipoprotein disorders in first-degree family members.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: To discern whether hypertriglyceridemia (hyper-TG, TG > 95th percentile) and hypoalphalipoporteinemia (hypoalpha, high-density lipoprotein [HDL-C] < or = 10th percentile) are jointly transmitted in families, we studied 385 probands with marked elevations in TG or cholesterol levels (TG or cholesterol > 99th percentile in a previous visit) and their 2072-first-degree relatives in the Lipid Research...
