Abstract excerpt
Coronary artery disease (CAD) poses a substantial threat to global health, leading to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. It has a significant genetic component that has been studied through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) over the past 17 years. These studies have made progress with larger sample sizes, diverse ancestral backgrounds, and the discovery of multiple genomic regions related to CAD...
