Shared genetic architecture in the relationship between adult stature and subclinical coronary artery atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Short stature is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD); although the mechanisms for this relationship are unknown, shared genetic factors have been proposed. Subclinical atherosclerosis, measured by coronary artery calcification (CAC), is associated with CHD events and represents part of the biological continuum to overt CHD. Many molecular mechanisms of CAC development are...
