• Genome-wide association study identifies novel recessive genetic variants for high TGs in an Arab population. - Journal of lipid research (2019) · Hebbar P, Nizam R, Melhem M, Alkayal F, Elkum N, John SE, Tuomilehto J, Alsmadi O, Thanaraj TA · PubMed 30108155

  Abnormal blood lipid levels are influenced by genetic and lifestyle/dietary factors. Although many genetic variants associated with blood lipid traits have been identified in Europeans, similar data in Middle Eastern populations are limited. We performed a genome-wide association study with Arab individuals (discovery cohort: 1,353; replication cohort: 1,176) from Kuwait to identify possible associations of genetic variants with high lipid levels. We used Illumina HumanOmniExpress BeadChip and candidate SNP genotyping in the discovery and replication phases, respectively. For association tests, we used genetic models that were based on additive and recessive modes of inheritance. High triglycerides (TGs) were recessively associated with six risk variants (rs1002487/ , rs11805972/ ) rs77617
