A new study uncovers 11 gene variants associated with three blood lipids measured to determine cardiovascular disease risk: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglycerides. Leading nutrigenomics researcher, Jose M. Ordovas, PhD, of the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, says the discovery opens up new research opportunities.
