A systematic evaluation of short tandem repeats in lipid candidate genes: riding on the SNP-wave.

A systematic evaluation of short tandem repeats in lipid candidate genes: riding on the SNP-wave.

Structural genetic variants as short tandem repeats (STRs) are not targeted in SNP-based association studies and thus, their possible association signals are missed. We systematically searched for STRs in gene regions known to contribute to total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and tri...
