What people are saying
Overall, these discussions reflect a high level of interest and engagement, with many emphasizing the importance of the study’s findings on LDL and ApoB, questioning outdated concepts about HDL, and analyzing the methodologies behind the research, which demonstrates their deep engagement and recognition of the study’s potential impact on medical understanding.
Many discussions affirm the study’s findings, emphasizing that lipid measurements like LDL are closely linked to heart disease risk, with some posts dismissing older misconceptions about HDL and ratios.
The posts demonstrate high interest by referencing specific research methods, such as Mendelian randomization, and debating complex topics like lipoproteins' causal roles.
Users actively analyze, criticize, and discuss various aspects, including the validity of biomarkers and study interpretations, indicating deep engagement.
The widespread focus on the study’s implications for understanding lipid-related cardiovascular risk underscores its significant influence on current scientific debates and public perception.
Abstract in brief
- Circulating lipoprotein lipids are linked to coronary heart disease (CHD), but the exact relationship is unclear; this study uses genetic instruments and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore their causal roles in CHD.
- The researchers performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the UK Biobank with a large sample size to identify lipid-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and conducted MR analyses using data from the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D consortium.
- The study found numerous significant SNPs associated with various lipid traits, revealing new genetic associations and indicating that LDL cholesterol is a major risk factor for CHD, with a substantial odds ratio indicating elevated risk per standard deviation increase.

LDL-C or LDL-P/ApoB? A high TG/HDL ratio is a correlate for elevated LDL-P/ApoB, and LDL-C's effects on increasing CVD risk almost never survives adjustment for LDL-P/ApoB in multivariable adjustment models.
2/8 Mendelian randomization analyses consistently fail to show statistically significant associations between ApoA-1 and CHD risk. Particularly after adjustments for LDL-C. This raises serious doubts regarding ApoA-1's causal role. https://t.co/EE9l68MMFh https://t.co/J4GSR9Zn9j https://t.co/Vx5Y216lA7

@NickBivens4 @kevinstock12 I believe in nuance and understand that it's too simplistic to say "cholesterol is bad". But yeah, generally speaking you will be better off with lower LDL and lower trigs (not so with HDL). If you want to check out a great video on cholesterol: https://t.co/nfNw3IaJCa

@TheSGEM @DBelardoMD Ference slide from #ESC2021 shows meta analysis of lipid lowering RCTs and apoB in 285k individuals.

And rounding out the top 10 is the ever popular GCKR which is associated with nearly every circulating metabolite and is responsible for at least 450 associations in the @gwascatalog, the strongest being triglycerides, p=1e-526 https://t.co/YmzIqUqGNX GCKR regulates glucokinase.
Returning to lipids, #8 with 482 associations belongs to LIPC, the strongest being HDL with p=2E-166. LIPC encodes hepatic triglyceride lipase which hydrolyses triglycerides. The enzyme plays a key role in regulating levels of HDL. https://t.co/YmzIqUqGNX
Coming in with over 500 associations is the cholesterol ester transfer protein, CETP, the strongest being HDL with a p-value of 1e-1211 https://t.co/YmzIqUqGNX Once upon a time it was believed that raising HDL (good cholesterol) would be beneficial: https://t.co/1bnIWRLEfH
PS. some will say 'sure, dietary cholesterol/SFA raises LDL-C/apoB, that's established. but do those markers translate to higher risk of CVD? that's the question' and yes, preponderance of evidence overwhelmingly says they do. covered it here: https://t.co/tafpR5aXjL
