Multi-ancestry study of blood lipid levels identifies four loci interacting with physical activity, Published online: 22 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-08008-w

GWAS have identified more than 500 genetic loci associated with blood lipid levels. Here, the authors report a genome-wide analysis of interactions between genetic markers and physical activity, and find that physical activity modifies the effects of four genetic loci on HDL or LDL cholesterol.
