Neuropeptide Y gene polymorphisms confer risk of early-onset atherosclerosis.

Neuropeptide Y gene polymorphisms confer risk of early-onset atherosclerosis.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a strong candidate gene for coronary artery disease (CAD). We have previously identified genetic linkage to familial CAD in the genomic region of NPY. We performed follow-up genetic, biostatistical, and functional analysis of NPY in early-onset CAD. In familial CAD (GENECARD,...
