Genetic determinants of carotid ultrasound traits.

Current atherosclerosis reports - 1 May 2006

Pollex Rebecca L, Hegele Robert

Abstract excerpt

Atherosclerosis is a complex disease with various intermediate phenotypes that are themselves complex and influenced by many factors. Through the use of carotid ultrasound techniques, the intermediate stages of vascular disease can be imaged and studied for association with potential genetic determinants. In this article we review the most recent available data (reports published since 2004) on the genetic...
