Genome-wide association study of coronary artery calcified atherosclerotic plaque in African Americans with type 2 diabetes

Abstract Background Coronary artery calcified atherosclerotic plaque (CAC) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite exposure to more severe conventional CVD risk factors, African Americans (AAs) are less likely to develop CAC, and when they do, have markedly lower levels than European American...
