Identification of a novel locus for triglyceride on chromosome 1p31-32 in families with premature CAD and MI*
An increased plasma triglyceride (TG) level is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) and is a key characteristic of the metabolic syndrome. Here, we used a genome-wide linkage scan to identify a novel genetic locus that influences the plasma TG level. We genoty...
