Project
The Global Lipids Genetics Consortium (GLGC) was formed to study the genetic determinants of blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Experiment summary
With updates to the data in October 2016, the sample size for GLGC GWAS increased to 188,577. Associations for triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL, and LDL levels were updated from a joint analysis of GWAS and MetaboChip data, described here and published by the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium et al. 2013 (see above).
