It can be associated with LDL receptor.[2]
Associated regions and genes include:
| Name | OMIM | Locus | Candidates |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDLCQ1 | 606613 | 9p | ABCA1 (Tangier disease)[3] |
| HDLCQ2 | 607053 | 8q23 | |
| HDLCQ3 | 607687 | 16q24.1 | Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency (LCAT) |
| HDLCQ4 | 610239 | 4q32 | |
| HDLD3 | 605201 | 11q23.3 | APOA1 |
Niacin is sometimes prescribed to raise HDL levels.[citation needed]
