The role of genetic risk factors in coronary artery disease.

Current cardiology reports - 1 May 2014

Dandona Sonny, Roberts Robert

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies for coronary artery disease utilizing the case control association study approach has identified 50 genetic risk variants associated with coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction. All of these genetic variants are of genome wide significance and replicated in an independent population. It is of note that 35 of these 50 genetic risk variants act through mechanisms as yet...
