Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have identified >250 genetic variants associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), but the causal variants, genes and molecular mechanisms remain unknown at most loci. We performed pooled CRISPR screens to test the impact of sequences at or near CAD-associated genetic variants on vascular endothelial cell functions. Using CRISPR knockout, inhibition and activation, we targeted...
