Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Single nucleotide polymorphism rs6903956 has been identified as one of the genetic risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, rs6903956 lies in a non-coding locus on chromosome 6p24.1. We aim to interrogate the molecular basis of 6p24.1 containing rs6903956 risk alleles in endothelial disease biology. METHODS AND RESULTS: We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from...
