TLDR
A rare non-synonymous variant in the endothelial lipase gene (LIPG Asn396Ser, minor allele frequency about 2·6%) that showed a consistent association with high HDL cholesterol concentrations, but no association with LDL cholesterol or triglycerides is used, suggesting that LIPG-mediated increases in HDL cholesterol do not reduce risk of the disease.

Dysfunctional HDL and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: The proinflammatory enzyme myeloperoxidase induces both oxidative modification and nitrosylation of specific residues on plasma and arterial apolipoprotein A-I to render HDL dysfunctional, which results in impaired ABCA1 macrophage transport, the activation of inflammatory pathways, and an increased risk of coronary artery disease.

Genetically Predicted Body Mass Index and Breast Cancer Risk: Mendelian Randomization Analyses of Data from 145,000 Women of European Descent.

TL;DR: BMI predicted by genome-wide association studies (GWAS)-identified variants is inversely associated with the risk of both pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer, differs from the positive association reported from studies using measured adult BMI.

ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters, Atherosclerosis, and Inflammation

TL;DR: Activation of ABC transporter-dependent cholesterol efflux pathways in macrophages, hematopoietic stem and multipotential progenitor cells, or platelet progenitors by reconstituted HDL infusion or liver X receptor activation remain promising approaches to the treatment of human atherothrombotic diseases.

Moderate to High Concentrations of High-Density Lipoprotein From Healthy Subjects Paradoxically Impair Human Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Related Angiogenesis by Activating Rho-Associated Kinase Pathways

TL;DR: Investigation of the concentration-related effects of HDL on in vitro and in vivo functions of human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) found moderate to high concentrations of HDL paradoxically impaired EPCs and related angiogenesis in the absence of oxidized low-density lipoprotein by activating Rho-associated kinase pathways, providing mechanistic evidence of potential hazard effects of LDL.

Diabetes and Risk of Arterial Stiffness: a Mendelian Randomization Analysis

TL;DR: Evidence supporting a causal association between T2D and increased arterial stiffness in a Chinese population is provided.

Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids

Tanya M. Teslovich, +218 more
- 05 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results identify several novel loci associated with plasma lipids that are also associated with CAD and provide the foundation to develop a broader biological understanding of lipoprotein metabolism and to identify new therapeutic opportunities for the prevention of CAD.

Major lipids, apolipoproteins, and risk of vascular disease

TL;DR: Lid assessment in vascular disease can be simplified by measurement of either total and HDL cholesterol levels or apolipoproteins without the need to fast and without regard to triglyceride.

Plasma HDL cholesterol and risk of myocardial infarction: A mendelian randomisation study

Benjamin F. Voight, +140 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Mendelian randomisation analysis was performed to compare the effect of HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and genetic score on risk of myocardial infarction.

Plasma HDL cholesterol and risk of myocardial infarction: a mendelian randomisation study

Benjamin F. Voight, +125 more
TL;DR: Mendelian randomisation analyses challenge the concept that raising of plasma HDL cholesterol will uniformly translate into reductions in risk of myocardial infarction.
