Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The genetically modified mouse is the most commonly used animal model for studying the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic disease. We aimed to assess if mice atherosclerosis-related genes could be validated in human disease through examination of results from genome-wide association studies. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We performed a systematic review to identify atherosclerosis-causing genes in mice and...
