TL;DR: A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function, and these findings suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.

TL;DR: Using genome-wide association data from three studies and targeted replication association analyses in up to 18,554 independent participants, it is shown that common SNPs at 18 loci are reproducibly associated with concentrations of low-density cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and/or triglycerides.
