The CASR R990G (rs1042636) polymorphism was associated with increased risk of hypertriglyceridemia in the Chinese population, especially in obese individuals, but other two nonsynonymous CASR coding region SNPs (A986S rs1801725, Q1011E rs1801726) were distributed similarly in hypertriglyceridemic and non-hypertriglyceridemic subjects [24]. Here, CASR is linked to hypertriglyceridemia.
