Results for apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) followed a pattern more similar to the analysis for triglycerides, showing inverse associations with thromboembolic diseases (P=0.007 for APOC3, P=0.089 for LPL for any venous thromboembolism). Here, LPL is linked to venous thromboembolism.
