Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is often polygenic due to multiple mutations that contribute small effects to susceptibility. Since most prior studies only evaluated the contribution of single candidate genes, we therefore looked at a combination of genes in predicting early-onset CAD [apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) K, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2...
