Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although family history can be an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, relatively little is known about the nature of specific genetic risk factors. One approach to this problem is to identify and characterize genes responsible for inherited disorders in the hope that this information will also provide mechanistic insight into common forms of cardiovascular disease.
