Abstract
Path and segregation analyses have been performed on cholesterol and triglyceride contents of serum as well as on very low, low and high density lipoproteins in 78 Swedish nuclear families. The effect of environmental variables like alcohol and smoking on the concentrations of the different lipoproteins has been studied. Genetic heritability was 0.16‐0.68 for the cholesterol fractions and 0‐0.56 for the triglyceride fractions. No major gene was evident for any of the variables studied.Keywords
