Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) have identified more than 300 single nucleotide polymorphisms at 163 independent loci associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there is no full understanding about the causal genes for CAD and the mechanisms of their action. We aimed to perform a post GWAS analysis to identify genes whose polymorphism may influence the risk of CAD. Using the UK Biobank GWAS...
