Abstract excerpt
Major genetic determinants of the metabolic syndrome - a clustering of abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure and high fasting glucose - remain elusive. We surveyed 207 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 110 candidate genes among coronary artery disease patients, a population enriched for metabolic abnormalities. The number of abnormalities (0-5) was determined in the 214...
