Genomics of lipid metabolism : identification of genetic determinants of lipid metabolites and the effect of perturbations of lipid levels on coronary heart disease risk factors
2018-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and global mortality rates are expected to continue to rise over the coming decades. In Pakistan in particular, chronic diseases are responsible for 50% of the total disease burden.
