4 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-atherosclerotic cause of myocardial infarction (MI), typically in young women. We undertook a genome-wide association study of SCAD (N cases = 270/N controls = 5,263) and identified and replicated an association of rs12740679 at chromosome 1q21.2 ( P discovery+replication = 2.19 × 10 −12 , OR = 1.8) influencing ADAMTSL4 expression. Meta-analysis of...
