To analyze the association of lipid parameters with carrier status of rare STAP1 variants, we defined 20 participants of the Cooperative Health Research in South Tyrol (CHRIS) study carrying rare STAP1 variants (ExAC minor allele frequency, MAF < 0.002) that were predicted to be disease-causing by MutationTaster as carriers. Further 100 participants of the CHRIS study were randomly selected as controls, i.e. non-carriers. Genetic analyses in this cohort were previously performed using Illumina HumanOmniExpressExome Bead Chip, which includes ~250,000 exonic variants25 (link).
