Loss-of-function of <i>MFGE8</i> and protection against coronary atherosclerosis

2021-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of premature death and disability worldwide, with both genetic and environmental determinants. While genome-wide association studies have identified multiple genetic loci associated with cardiovascular diseases, exact genes driving these associations remain mostly uncovered. Due to Finland’s population history, many deleterious and high-impact variants are enriched in...
