Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polygenetic effect has rarely been addressed in the genetic studies of coronary artery disease (CAD). We used the largest and ethnically homogeneous angiographic cohort to analyze multilocus data in renin-angiotensin system genes, and provide an explicit demonstration of gene-gene interactions. METHODS: A total of 1254 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac catheterization (735 with coronary...
