Using data from the Million Veteran Program (MVP), researchers found people with mutations for PDE3B, PCSK9, and ANGPTL4 had better cholesterol and triglyceride levels than did those without the mutations.
The PDE3B mutation seems to protect against heart disease. A PCSK9 mutation may reduce the risk not only of heart disease, but also abdominal aortic aneurysm. The ANGPTL4 mutation was linked to lower risk of type 2 DM.
MVP, 1 of the world’s largest databases of health and genomic information, partners with veterans receiving care in the VHA to study how genes affect health. It has enrolled > 700,000 veterans to date.
