Genetic susceptibility to death from coronary heart disease in a study of twins.

The New England journal of medicine - 14 Apr 1994

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A family history of premature coronary heart disease has long been thought to be a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Using data from 26 years of follow-up of 21,004 Swedish twins born between 1886 and 1925, we investigated this issue further by assessing the risk of death from coronary heart disease in pairs of monozygotic and dizygotic twins. METHODS: The study population consisted of 3298...
