Fine mapping of five loci associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol detects variants that double the explained heritability.

Fine mapping of five loci associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol detects variants that double the explained heritability.

Complex trait genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide an efficient strategy for evaluating large numbers of common variants in large numbers of individuals and for identifying trait-associated variants. Nevertheless, GWAS often leave much of the trait heritability unexplained. We hypothesized...
