Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Little is known about specific genetic determinants of carotid-intima-media thickness (CIMT) and carotid plaque in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We have used the Metabochip array to fine map and replicate loci that influence variation in these phenotypes in Mexican Americans (MAs) and European Americans (EAs). METHODS: CIMT and plaque were measured using ultrasound from 700 MA and...
