Almost 100 genetic loci are known to affect serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. For many of these loci, the biological function and causal variants remain unknown. We performed an association analysis of the reported 95 lipid loci against 216 metabolite measures, including 95 measurements on lipids and lipoprotein subclasses, obtained via serum nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics and four enzymatic lipid traits in 8330 individuals from Finland. The genetic variation in the loci was investigated using a dense set of 440 807 directly genotyped and imputed variants around the previously identified lead single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). For 30 of the 95 loci, we identified new metabolic or genetic associations (P
