Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Genome-wide association studies identified a risk haplotype on chromosome 9p21.3 to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI). Since this region does not contain a clear candidate gene with known pathophysiology, we performed a haplotype-specific expression study in human macrophages during pro-inflammatory stimulation to investigate the locus-dependent expression...
