In our data the SLC10A2 variants Pro290Ser and Val98Ile (which were shown experimentally16 to have abolished and reduced function, respectively) do not associate (P > 0.4 for both variants) with hypertriglyceridemia, defined as having at least two serum triglyceride measurements higher than 5 mmol/L (N = 1,599; Supplementary Data 5). This evidence concerns the gene SLC10A2 and hypertriglyceridemia.
