TL;DR: A gene-centric 50 K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array to assess potentially relevant loci across a range of cardiovascular, metabolic and inflammatory syndromes and it is demonstrated that the IBC array can be used to complement GWAS, increasing coverage in high priority CVD-related lociAcross all major HapMap populations.

Hepatic sortilin regulates both apolipoprotein B secretion and LDL catabolism
Alanna Strong,Qiurong Ding,Andrew C. Edmondson,John S. Millar,Katherine V. Sachs,Xiaoyu Li,Arthi Kumaravel,Margaret Ye Wang,Ding Ai,Liang Guo,Eric T. Alexander,David Nguyen,Sissel Lund-Katz,Michael C. Phillips,Carlos R. Morales,Alan R. Tall,Sekar Kathiresan,Edward A. Fisher,Kiran Musunuru,Daniel J. Rader +19 more
TL;DR: Functional evidence is provided that genetically increased hepatic sortilin expression both reduces hepatic apolipoprotein B secretion and increases LDL catabolism, providing dual mechanisms for the very strong association between increased hepatics sortil in expression and reduced plasma LDL-C levels in humans.

Loss-of-function variants in endothelial lipase are a cause of elevated HDL cholesterol in humans

TL;DR: The results establish that loss-of-function mutations in LIPG lead to increased HDL-C levels and support the idea that inhibition of endothelial lipase may be an effective mechanism to raise HDL- C.
