Identification of CAD candidate genes in GWAS loci and their expression in vascular cells[S]

Identification of CAD candidate genes in GWAS loci and their expression in vascular cells[S]

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 35 loci that significantly associate with coronary artery disease (CAD) susceptibility. The majority of the genes represented in these loci have not previously been studied in the context of atherosclerosis. To characterize the roles of t...
