Nine additional loci in European Americans and eight loci in African Americans demonstrated effects limited to one metabolic syndrome trait domain that have already been reported in the GWA literature and are therefore not considered further: ABCA1, APOB, CD36, CELSR2, CETP, CRP, F7, LDLR, LIPC, PVRL2, TRIB1, VWF, and ZNF259. The gene discussed is NECTIN2; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
