Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of lipid metabolic disorders have highlighted further associations with polymorphisms in the genes cholesteryl ester transfer protein, plasma, CETP (16q21); clusterin, CLU (8p21-p12); complement component 3b/4b receptor 1, CR1 (1q32); and low-density lipoprotein receptor, LDLR (19p13.2) (for reviews and databases see [27-30] and the Catalog of Published Genome-Wide Studies; http://www.genome.gov/gwastudies/). This evidence concerns the gene CETP and Disorder of lipid metabolism.
