Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are associated with increased myocardial infarction (MI) risk, suggesting shared genetic susceptibility. We systematically investigated the shared genetic architecture, pleiotropic loci, and candidate therapeutic targets linking ADs and MI. METHODS: We analyzed genome-wide association study summary statistics for 10 ADs and MI, primarily from European-ancestry...
