Genome-wide significance loci identified by GWAS for serum lipids in the three tested populations.

a. The number of SNPs that achieved genome-wide significance level.b. Allele substitution effect, the least square mean ± SE was showed for each phenotype; the unit for LDL-C and TC is mmol/Lc. Candidate genes were selected from annotated genes with functional relevance to blood lipids or lipid metabolism in an interval of 5 Mb centered at the top SNP at each significant locus.Genome-wide significance loci identified by GWAS for serum lipids in the three tested populations.
