Coronary artery disease is the leading global cause of mortality. Long recognized to be
heritable, recent advances have started to unravel the genetic architecture of the disease …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and
its prevalence is expected to increase in the coming years. CAD events are caused by the …

Coronary artery disease represents the leading cause of death worldwide, sparing no
nation, ethnicity, or economic stratum. Coronary artery disease is partly heritable. While …

Since completion of the human genome sequence, considerable progress has been made
in determining the genetic basis of human diseases. Understanding the genetic basis of …

Susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) is claimed to be 40% to 60% inherited, but
until recently genetic risk factors predisposing to CAD have been elusive. Comprehensive …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Affected individuals
cluster in families in patterns that reflect the sharing of numerous susceptibility genes …

In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the genetics of coronary artery disease,
based on 10 years of genome-wide association studies. The discoveries began with …

Coronary artery disease is a complex disease influenced by modifiable risk factors as well
as genetic susceptibility. The genetics of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction …

Genetic studies provide new insights into the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and
myocardial infarction. Future studies will focus on identification of new disease-causing …

Coronary artery disease and its clinical manifestations, including myocardial infarction, are
heritable traits, consistent with a role for inherited DNA sequence variation in conferring risk …
