The same sequence variant on 9p21 associates with myocardial infarction, abdominal aortic aneurysm and intracranial aneurysm
Recently, two common sequence variants on 9p21, tagged by rs10757278-G and rs10811661-T, were reported to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD)1,2,3,4 and type 2 diabetes (T2D)5,6,7, respectively. We p...

Open AccessGenetic and functional association of FAM5C with myocardial infarction
We previously identified a 40 Mb region of linkage on chromosome 1q in our early onset coronary artery disease (CAD) genome-wide linkage scan (GENECARD) with modest evidence for linkage (n = 420, LOD 0.95). Wh...

Genetic effects in the leukotriene biosynthesis pathway and association with atherosclerosis
Leukotrienes are arachidonic acid derivatives long known for their inflammatory properties and their involvement with a number of human diseases, most particularly asthma. Recently, leukotriene-based inflammat...

Genetics of cardiac repolarization
Prolongation of the electrocardiographic QT interval, a measure of cardiac repolarization, is associated with arrhythmogenic disorders and is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death. Two genome-wide association...

Gene–smoking interactions in multiple Rho-GTPase pathway genes in an early-onset coronary artery disease cohort
We performed a gene–smoking interaction analysis using families from an early-onset coronary artery disease cohort (GENECARD). This analysis was focused on validating and expanding results from previous studie...
