Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is used in diagnosing many diseases and is significantly determined by genetic factors. Three genes coding for LDH isoenzymes were mapped to chromosome 11q15 and 12p12. We used 330 Framingham Heart Study largest families for microsatellite linkage scan and 100K SNPs association scan to determine quantitative trait loci of LDH level. We estimated the heritability at 41%. Our genome-wide linkage analysis yielded several chromosomal regions, other than 11q and 12p, ...[more]
