Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vein graft stenosis after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is common. Identifying genes associated with vein graft stenosis after CABG could reveal novel mechanisms of disease and discriminate patients at risk for graft failure. We hypothesized that genome-wide association would identify these genes. METHODS: We performed a genome-wide association study on a subset of patients presenting for...
