Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Plasma lipid levels are heritable and genetically associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) routinely analyze these traits independent of one another. Joint GWAS for two related phenotypes can lead to a higher powered analysis to detect variants contributing to both traits.
122,733 coronary artery disease cases, 424,528 coronary artery disease controls, 188,577 individuals
