Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified common genetic variants at ≈300 human genomic loci linked to coronary artery disease susceptibility. Among these genomic regions, the most impactful is the 9p21.3 coronary artery disease risk locus, which spans a 60-kb gene desert and encompasses ≈80 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism) in high linkage disequilibrium. Despite ≈2 decades since its...
