Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDS: QT is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death (SCD). A genome-wide association study identified NOS1AP variants associated with QT, which have been replicated in predominantly Caucasian (CAU) populations. We used the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis to examine association of QT with NOS1AP variants in an ethnically diverse cohort. METHODS: Twenty-eight tagging SNPs spanning NOS1AP were genotyped...
