The LPL S447X variant showed borderline significant association with weight ( p = 0.02) with 447X homozygotes weighing almost 5 kg less than S447 homozygotes.

Carriers of the APOA5 19W had 7.8% higher plasma TG levels compared to homozygotes for the common allele, but the association did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.038) ( Appendices Table 2 ).
A highly significant association of the Taq 1B variant with TC: HDL-C ratios in the cohort were also observed, highlighting the importance of this particular genotype and its effects on HDL-C levels from a young age.
