Variant rs9644568 in the intergenic region downstream of the LPL gene is associated with high LDL cholesterol levels among Filipinos

2024-05-13

Abstract excerpt

High blood level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although genetic variants linked to high LDL-C have been studied in other populations, there have been no previous studies among Filipinos. This study aims to determine the association of candidate genetic variants to high LDL-C. We performed an age- and sex-matched case-control study that compared Fi...
