Abstract excerpt

The role of common variation in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene (LDLR) as a determinant of variation in plasma LDL cholesterol in normolipidemic populations is not well established. To address this question, we used both association and linkage analysis to evaluate the relationshi...
