Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study examined the concordance of associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for acute coronary artery disease (CAD) discovered in Europeans with acute CAD, chronic ischaemic heart disease (IHD) or stroke in Chinese adults. METHODS: In a nested case-control study of acute CAD (4,748 cases/66,227 controls) in China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB), we compared associations of 224 SNPs for acute CAD...
