Functional analysis of novel genetic markers of coronary artery disease identified by genome-wide association studies

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the commonest cause of death worldwide. It is a multifactorial disease caused by interplay between genes and environment. Defining genes that affect CAD risk and understanding their mechanisms may help to improve its prevention and treatment. Recent genome-wide assoc...
