Forty-three loci associated with plasma lipoprotein size, concentration, and cholesterol content in genome-wide analysis.

Forty-three loci associated with plasma lipoprotein size, concentration, and cholesterol content in genome-wide analysis.

While conventional LDL-C, HDL-C, and triglyceride measurements reflect aggregate properties of plasma lipoprotein fractions, NMR-based measurements more accurately reflect lipoprotein particle concentrations according to class (LDL, HDL, and VLDL) and particle size (small, medium, and large). The co...
