Genome-wide association study and multi-ancestry meta-analysis identify common variants associated with carotid artery intima-media thickness

2025-04-14

Abstract excerpt

Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a measurement of subclinical atherosclerosis that predicts future cardiovascular events, including stroke and myocardial infarction. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified only a fraction of the genetic variants associated with cIMT. We performed the largest GWAS for cIMT involving up to 131,000 individuals. For the first time, we meta-analysed a dive...
