Gene expression variation between African Americans and whites is associated with coronary artery calcification: the multiethnic study of atherosclerosis
27 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a strong indicator of total atherosclerosis burden. Epidemiological data have shown substantial differences in CAC prevalence and severity between African Americans and whites. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying initiation and progression of CAC. Microarray gene expression profiling of peripheral blood leucocytes was performed from 119 healthy women...
