Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In recent years, several genomic regions have been robustly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in different genome-wide association studies (GWASs) conducted mainly in people of European descent. These kinds of data are lacking in African populations, even though heart diseases are a major cause of premature death and disability. METHODS: Here, 384 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in...
