Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for approximately 19.8 million deaths annually, with coronary artery disease (CAD) as a major contributor. Genetic factors play an important role in CVD development. Genetic risk can be attributed to monogenic and polygenic risk variants. Patients with rare, Mendelian monogenic CVDs have been shown to have mutations in many causative genes, including LRP6, MEF2A,...
