Abstract excerpt
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major global health burden whereby gene-by-environment-by-sex interactions play an important role. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery involves patients with well-documented and severe CAD. Hence, the study of CAD in a context of the CABG surgery serves as an advantageous model for disease phenotype ascertainment and genetic association studies. We report here new...
