Abstract excerpt
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common disease mainly caused by atherosclerosis, for which genetic causes remain largely unknown. Recently, low frequency and rare genetic variants have been proposed as risk factors. Autophagy has been involved in many cellular processes, such as lipid metabolism and inflammation, and implicated in human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. In previous studies, we...
