Differences in prevalence and mortality from coronary artery disease (CAD) were observed among the different Israeli ethnic groups.

In this present study, we selected 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 14 candidate genes involved in (1) the renin-angiotensin system, (2) lipid metabolism, (3) cytokines...
