Gene discovery for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level change over time in prospective family studies

Several genes are known to contribute to the levels and metabolism of HDL-C, however, their protective effects in cardiovascular disease (CVD), healthy aging and longevity are complex and poorly understood. It is also unclear if these genes predict longitudinal HDL-C change. We aimed to identify loci influencing HDL-C change.
