Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Most studies on the genes involved in coronary artery disease (CAD) targeted individuals with angiographically or clinically proven CAD. Focusing on high-risk individuals with normal coronary arteries (NCA) may offer novel insights into the pathogenesis of CAD. We aimed to identify genes putatively protective for development of CAD. METHODS: Pooled whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on 17...
