ALB and hyperlipidemia: By performing trans-ethnic (n = 564,257) and European-ancestry-specific meta-analyses of the GWASs of the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), including ancestry- and diabetes-specific analyses, Teumer et al. [25] identified 68 UACR-associated loci and showed a genetic correlation among proteinuria, hyperlipidemia, gout, and hypertension.
