A wealth of novel lipid loci have been identified through a variety of approaches focused on common and low-frequency variation and collaborative metaanalyses in multiethnic populations. Despite progress in identification of loci, the task of determining causal variants remains challenging. This work will undoubtedly be enhanced by improved understanding of regulatory DNA at a genomewide level as well as new methodologies for interrogating the relationships between noncoding SNPs and regulatory regions. Equally challenging is the identification of causal genes at novel loci. Some progress has been made for a handful of genes and comprehensive testing of candidate genes using multiple model systems is underway. Additional insights will be gleaned from focusing on low frequency and rare coding variation at candidate lad in large populations.
