Abstract excerpt
Cardiovascular disease, a primary cause of mortality in the United States, has a complex pathologic process involving many genes. The high-throughput technology (microarray or "DNA chip") used to decipher the human genome is now being employed to identify key genes in its development. A study focusing on candidate genes associated with premature cardiovascular disease discovered that missense variations in the...
