Highlights
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has become increasingly prevalent for use on non-spine bone metastases
Study Design: 719 severe HTG patients of 7 different ethnicities were sequenced using a custom next-generation sequencing panel that targets 73 genes and 185 SNPs associated with abnormal lipid levels and metabolic disorders
Patients were screened for mutations in TG metabolism genes (LPL, APOC2, APOA5, LMF1 and GPIHBP1), and were tested for SNP accumulation using a polygenic risk score
