Genetic susceptibility to coronary artery disease: from promise to progress.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Mar 2006

Watkins Hugh, Farrall Martin

Abstract excerpt

Family history is an important independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), and identification of susceptibility genes for this common, complex disease is a vital goal. Although there has been considerable success in identifying genetic variants that influence well-known risk factors, such as cholesterol levels, progress in unearthing novel CAD genes has been slow. However, advances are now being...
