Abstract excerpt
The role of endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction in contributing to an individual's susceptibility to coronary atherosclerosis and how low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations might modify this relationship have not been previously studied. Here, from an examination of genome-wide significant single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), we identified variants with...
