Interestingly, several SNPs near lymphatic endothelial markers VEGFC, LYVE1, FLT4 loci are associated with cardiovascular and metabolic phenotypes including cardiac hypertrophy in humans (Fung et al., 2019; Johansson et al., 2010; justice et al., 2019; Kettunen et al., 2016; Kichaev et al., 2019; Lotta et al., 2018; Lu et al., 2017; Nasa Sinnott-Armstrong et al., 2019; Saxena et al., 2010; van der Harst and Verweij, 2018; Wild et al., 2017; Xu et al., 2018; Table 1). Here, VEGFC is linked to cardiac hypertrophy.
