Linkage analysis of candidate genes and the small, dense low-density lipoprotein phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

There is accumulating evidence for the importance of small, dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the defining feature of the atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype, as a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Although both family studies and twin studies have demonstrated genetic influences on this phenotype, the specific gene(s) involved remain to be identified. The purpose of this study was to determine whether...
