Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined contribution of 12 genetic variants to the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS: Through a comprehensive literature search for genetic variants involved in the CHD association study, we harvested a total of 10 genes (12 variants) for the current meta-analyses. These genes consisted of GPX1 (rs1050450), PPARD (rs2016520), ALOX15 (rs34210653), SELPLG...
