Abstract excerpt
The interplay of multiple genes and environmental factors generates interindividual variation in plasma low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations. As a result, it has been difficult to identify individual genes that contribute to variation in plasma LDL-C levels using classical l...
