Mendelian randomisation and cardiovascular disease

2009-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background and aims: Homocysteine (Hcy), C-reactive protein (CRP), and Lipoprotein- associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) have been associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. If casual, they are expected to provide additional tools for prevention. Utilising the unique properties of genetic variants (randomly allocated and unmodifiable), they could be used as unconfounded proxies of environmental exposu...
