Genetic Analysis of long-lived families reveals novel variants influencing high density-lipoprotein cholesterol
The plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) have an inverse relationship to the risks of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, and have also been associated with longevity. We sought to identify novel loci for HDL that could potentially provide new insights into biological...
