Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests a genetic component for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD). We conducted a systematic candidate-gene approach using haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) to identify genes associated with SCD risk in the context of CAD. METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated 1424 htSNPs representing 18 genes with mutations described in...
