Fig. 3: Venn diagram of genes identified through epigenome-wide association study of lipids and their overlap with other EWAS as well as genome-wide association studies of lipids.
From: A multi-ethnic epigenome-wide association study of leukocyte DNA methylation and blood lipids
Genes identified in the racial/ethnic specific (European, African, and Hispanic) stratified meta-analysis of CpG-lipid associations involving either high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or triglycerides (TG) levels after adjusting for BMI and excluding subjects on statins. Genes identified in more than one racial/ethnic population are in bold font. Genes identified in EWAS of related cardiometabolic traits are marked with special characters: BMI (#), hepatic fat (*), fasting insulin or HOMA-IR ($), incident type2 diabetes (&), eGFR (^), blood pressure (%), C-reactive protein (CRP) (@), and cigarette smoking (+). Genes identified in previous GWAS are underlined.
