Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified more than 300 loci associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), defining the genetic risk map of the disease. However, the translation of the association signals into biological-pathophysiological mechanisms constitute a major challenge. Through a group of examples of studies focused on CAD, we discuss the rationale, basic principles and outcomes of the...
