Our discovery cohort consists of 4,492 individuals from the Busselton Health Study. Two independent cohorts - the Australian Imaging, Biomarker & Lifestyle Flagship Study of Ageing (AIBL) study and the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study - provide validation of SNP-lipid associations.
For detailed information about the analysis and cohorts, please see paper: Cadby, G. et al. Comprehensive genetic analysis of the human lipidome identifies loci associated with lipid homeostasis with links to coronary artery disease (2022).
The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute Metabolomics Laboratory has developed a state-of-the-art lipidomics platform, emphasizing precise and reliable measurement of a broad range of lipid species from human plasma. This website describes the targeted LC-MS/MS method for the determination of 761 different human lipid species using just 10 µL of plasma. The total analysis time is 16 minutes per sample using a single column, reduced to 13 minutes when running a dual column system.
Our platform has been built from the ground up to separate isomers and isobaric species, allowing an unparalleled specificity in lipid measurement. We have developed a freely available online resource detailing our lipidomic methodologies. This resoure will allow the research community to replicate our lipidomic platform.
