Identification of four novel genes contributing to familial elevated plasma HDL cholesterol in humans[S]

Identification of four novel genes contributing to familial elevated plasma HDL cholesterol in humans[S]

While genetic determinants strongly influence HDL cholesterol (HDLc) levels, most genetic causes underlying variation in HDLc remain unknown. We aimed to identify novel rare mutations with large effects in candidate genes contributing to extreme HDLc in humans, utilizing family-based Mendelian genet...
