Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genome-wide association studies have led to the discovery of many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, many of these SNPs are in between genes (intergenic), and presumably function through the regulation of gene expression. Microarrays that measure the expression of thousands of mRNAs have allowed investigators to study how genetic...
