The most significant association was detected for the 3’ UTR of APOC3 (apolipoprotein C3 c.*40G>C) and blood triglyceride levels (p =3.5×10−74 as determined by linear regression) (Figure 7C and D), total cholesterol (p =7.6×10−12) and self-reported hyperlipidemia (p = 0.00038; Supplementary file 8). Here, APOC3 is linked to hyperlipidemia.
