Genome-wide association studies have identified over 150 loci associated with lipid traits,
however, no large-scale studies exist for Hispanics and other minority populations …

Background A recent, large genome-wide association study (GWAS) of European ancestry
individuals has identified multiple genetic variants influencing serum lipids. Studies of the …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified∼ 100 loci associated with blood
lipid levels, but much of the trait heritability remains unexplained, and at most loci the …

Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for lipid traits focus on the separate analysis
of lipid traits. Moreover, there are limited GWASs evaluating the genetic variants associated …

Meta-analyses of European populations has successfully identified genetic variants in over
100 loci associated with lipid levels, but our knowledge in other ethnicities remains limited …

Although a considerable proportion of serum lipids loci identified in European ancestry
individuals (EA) replicate in African Americans (AA), interethnic differences in the distribution …

Blood lipid concentrations are heritable risk factors associated with atherosclerosis and
cardiovascular diseases. Lipid traits exhibit considerable variation among populations of …

Background—Genome-wide association studies in cohorts of European descent have
identified novel genomic regions as associated with lipids, but their relevance in African …

Background Despite ethnic disparities in lipid profiles, there are few genome-wide
association studies investigating genetic variation of lipids in non-European ancestry …

Background Whereas it is well established that plasma lipid levels have substantial
heritability within populations, it remains unclear how many of the genetic determinants …
