[Application of genetic principles to the causal assessment of atherosclerosis].

The pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the development of atherosclerosis are complex and influenced by numerous genetic factors [polygenic] as well as environmental factors. Specific disorders caused by single gene mutations [monogenic] may considerably enhance the risk for atherosclerosis.
