Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and cancer are 2 leading global causes of mortality, with shared modifiable risk factors, yet the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying their comorbidity remain poorly understood. METHODS: We performed a genome-wide pleiotropy analysis to identify shared genetic mechanisms across CAD and 4 common cancers that share modifiable risk factors with CAD (breast,...
