Variants at the APOA5 locus, association with carotid atherosclerosis, and modification by obesity: the Framingham Study

Variants at the APOA5 locus, association with carotid atherosclerosis, and modification by obesity: the Framingham Study

Genetic variation at the apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) is associated with increased triglyceride concentrations, a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Carotid intimal medial thickness (IMT) is a surrogate measure of atherosclerosis burden. We sought to determine the association of common APOA5 genetic...
