Summary
This is a research study of how a cholesterol medication known as fenofibrate works
differently in people with different genetic backgrounds. "Genetics" refers to certain things
that are passed to a person by their parents, such as eye color or hair color. Genetic
differences lead to people having different eye and hair color. There are also genetic
differences in a protein called liver X receptor-alpha (LXRA), which may be important in
predicting the response to fenofibrate.
