Following examination of the association of the identified SNPs to serum concentrations of triglycerides, HDL‑cholesterol, or LDL‑cholesterol, linkage disequilibrium of the SNPs, and results of previous genome‑wide association studies, we newly identified chromosomal region 19p12 as a susceptibility locus for hypertriglyceridemia, eight loci (MOB3C‑TMOD4, LPGAT1, EHD3, COL6A3, ZNF860‑CACNA1D, COL6A5, DCLRE1C, ZNF77) for hypo‑HDL‑cholesterolemia, and three loci (KIAA0319‑FAM65B, UBD, LOC105375015) for hyper‑LDL‑cholesterolemia.
