A common variant highly associated with plasma VEGFA levels also contributes to the variation of both LDL-C and HDL-C[S]

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is among the most-significant stimulators of angiogenesis. Its effect on cardiovascular diseases and on the variation of related risk factors such as lipid parameters is considered important, although as yet unclear. Recently, we identified four common va...
