Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many single-nucleotide polymorphisms have been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD)/myocardial infarction (MI) by genome-wide association studies, but the diagnostic value of these variants is limited. Functional single-nucleotide polymorphism R952Q in LRP8 is associated with familial and early-onset CAD/MI. The objective of this study is to test whether fine mapping and haplotype analysis...
