A previous study examined associations between 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms across ITGB3 and cardiovascular disease-related traits in the Hutterites (e.g., plasma levels of HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides) and suggested that ITGB3 has sex-specific associations with plasma lipoprotein(a) [66]. This evidence concerns the gene ITGB3 and cardiovascular disorder.
