Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a widely accepted marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. Twenty susceptibility loci for cIMT were previously identified and the identification of additional susceptibility loci furthers our knowledge on the genetic architecture underlying atherosclerosis. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We performed 3 genome-wide association studies in 45 185 participants from the...
