Current study results from the report, "In search of new targets for plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels: promise of human-mouse comparative genomics," have been published. According to recent research from the United States, "Many lines of evidence suggest that raising plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels may inhibit, perhaps even reverse, atherosclerosis. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis has been performed in both humans and mice." "So far, approximately 40 high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-regulating QTLs have been identified in each species. To compare human and mouse HDL-C QTLs, we generate human-mouse comparative chromosome...
