  Metabolites are small intermediate products of cellular metabolism perturbed in a variety of complex disorders. Identifying genetic markers associated with metabolite concentrations could delineate disease-related metabolic pathways in humans. We tested genetic variants for associations with 136 metabolites in 1954 Chinese from Singapore. At a conservative genome-wide threshold (3.7 × 10-10), we detected 1899 variant-metabolite associations at 16 genetic loci. Three loci (ABCA7, A4GALT, GSTM2) represented novel associations with metabolites, with the strongest association observed between ABCA7 and d18:1/24:1 dihexosylceramide. Among 13 replicated loci, we identified six new variants independent of previously reported metabolite or lipid signals. We observed variant-metabolite associa
