Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The study objective was to determine whether the coronary artery disease (CAD)-associated genotype at chromosome 9p21 modulates basal or induced expression of type I interferons (IFN-I).

It has been reported that the CAD risk locus is rich in enhancer-like elements and that...
