Smoking modifies the associated increased risk of future cardiovascular disease by genetic variation on chromosome 9p21.

Smoking modifies the associated increased risk of future cardiovascular disease by genetic variation on chromosome 9p21.

<h4>Aims</h4>Genetic predisposition for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is likely to be modified by environmental exposures. We tested if the associated risk of CVD and CVD-mortality by the single nucleotide polymorphism rs4977574 on chromosome 9p21 is modified by life-style factors.<h4&...
