Genome-wide analysis of carotid plaque burden suggests a role of IL5 in men.
<h4>Background</h4>Carotid artery plaque is an established marker of subclinical atherosclerosis with pronounced sex-dimorphism. Here, we aimed to identify genetic variants associated with carotid plaque burden (CPB) and to examine potential sex-specific genetic effects on plaque sizes.&...
