Common variants associated with plasma triglycerides and risk for coronary artery disease
Abstract
Sekar Kathiresan and colleagues examine 185 common variants using a modified mendelian randomization approach and provide evidence supporting a causal role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in the development of coronary artery disease. Triglycerides are transported in plasma by specific triglyceride-rich lipoproteins; in epidemiological studies, increased triglyceride levels correlate with higher risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). However,...
