Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: γ' fibrinogen is a newly emerging biomarker that is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the genetic determinants of γ' fibrinogen levels are unknown. We therefore conducted a genome-wide association study on 3042 participants from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS: A genome-wide association study with 2.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
