Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although sex differences in coronary artery disease (CAD) risk have been observed, little is known about the role of sex hormones in CAD genetics. Accounting for sex hormone levels may help identify CAD-risk loci and extend our knowledge of its genetic architecture. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 365 662 individuals of European ancestry enrolled in the UK Biobank were considered. Genetic interaction...
