Although the subjects with low HDL-C (17.0 ± 6.3 vs. 18.3 ± 8.1 μg/ml, P = 0.086) and hypertriglyceridemia (16.9 ± 6.3 vs. 18.2 ± 8.0 μg/ml, P = 0.134) also had lower serum RNase-L concentrations respectively than those without, the differences were not statistically significant (Fig. 1). The gene discussed is RNASEL; the disease is hypertriglyceridemia.
