OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between SNPs reported in previous studies and
the blood lipid level in the Tibetan population. METHODS: Random cluster sampling was …

We examined the associations between 21 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of eight
lipid metabolism genes and lipid levels in a Chinese population. This study was conducted …

Recently, several human genetic and genomewide association studies (GWAS) have
discovered many genetic loci that are associated with the concentration of the blood lipids …

Background Recent genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified a number of
novel genetic determinants of blood lipid concentrations in Europeans. However, it is still …

Although genetic variants, which regulate lipid metabolism, have been extensively
investigated in Caucasian populations, the genes, which confer susceptibility to …

Background The prevalence of dyslipidemia has increased steadily in Korea, and the
incidence of dyslipidemia differs by sex. In this study, we identified single nucleotide …

Background Niemann-pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) is a key protein for intestinal cholesterol
transportation. Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the NPC1L1 gene have …

A number of recent genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified several novel
genetic determinants of plasma lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in European …

Associations between “lipid-related” candidate genes, blood lipid concentrations and
coronary artery disease (CHD) risk are not clear. We aimed to investigate the effect of three …

We studied the association of six common polymorphisms of four genes related to lipid
metabolism with serum lipid levels. We selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in …
