Variants identified in a GWAS meta-analysis for blood lipids are associated with the lipid response to fenofibrate.

Variants identified in a GWAS meta-analysis for blood lipids are associated with the lipid response to fenofibrate.

A recent large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide studies has identified 95 loci, 59 of them novel, as statistically significant predictors of blood lipid traits; we tested whether the same loci explain the observed heterogeneity in response to lipid-lowering therapy with fenofibrate. Using data fro...
