Polygenic determinants in extremes of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol

Polygenic determinants in extremes of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol

HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) remains a superior biochemical predictor of CVD risk, but its genetic basis is incompletely defined. In patients with extreme HDL-C concentrations, we concurrently evaluated the contributions of multiple large- and small-effect genetic variants. In a discovery cohort of 255 u...
