Another 27 SNPs in/near 16 genes were associated with some bivariate combinations of 5 MetS components, including LPL (associated with BP-HDL, TG-BP, TG-glucose, HDL-TG, HDL-WC), CETP (BP-HDL, HDL-glucose, HDL-TG, and HDL-WC), APOA5 cluster (TG-BP, TG-glucose, HDL-TG, and WC-TG), LIPC (HDL-glucose and WC-HDL), GCKR cluster, including GCKR, ZNF512, CCDC121, and C2orf16 genes (WC-TG and TG-BP), TRIB1 (HDL-TG, TG-BP), TFAP2B (WC-glucose), ABCB11 (HDL-glucose), LOC100129500 (HDL-TG), LOC100128354/MTNR1B (BP-glucose, HDL-glucose, and TG-glucose), and LOC100129150 (HDL-TG and HDL-WC). This evidence concerns the gene CETP and metabolic syndrome.
