Abstract excerpt
Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (WARS) gene polymorphisms have been associated with the patho-physiology of vascular angiogenesis and homeostasis. Data from a recent genome-wide linkage analysis suggested a potential role of WARS in the risk of myocardial infarction. However, no genetic-epidemiological data are available. From a prospective cohort of 14,916 initially healthy American men, we evaluated five common...
