Genome-Wide Association and Functional Studies Identify SCML4 and THSD7A as Novel Susceptibility Genes for Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVE—The genetic contribution to coronary artery disease (CAD) remains largely unclear. We combined genetic screening with functional characterizations to identify novel loci and candidate genes for CAD. APPROACH AND RESULTS—We performed genome-wide screening followed by multicenter validation...

Zusammenfassung: | OBJECTIVE—The genetic contribution to coronary artery disease (CAD) remains largely unclear. We combined genetic screening with functional characterizations to identify novel loci and candidate genes for CAD.
APPROACH AND RESULTS—We performed genome-wide screening followed by multicenter validation in 8 cohorts consisting of 21 828 participants of Han ethnicity and identified 3 novel intragenic SNPs, rs9486729 (SCML4; odds ratio, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.17–1.34; P=3.51×10), rs17165136 (THSD7A; odds ratio 1.28; 95% CI, 1.21–1.35; P |
