Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies identified ADAMTS7 as a risk locus for coronary artery disease (CAD).

We sought to examine the association between genetic variation at ADAMTS7 and measures of atherosclerosis using histological, angiographic, and clinical outcomes data. METHODS AND RESULTS: The lead...
