Genetic variants from lipid-related pathways and risk for incident myocardial infarction.

Genetic variants from lipid-related pathways and risk for incident myocardial infarction.

Circulating lipids levels, as well as several familial lipid metabolism disorders, are strongly associated with initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and incidence of myocardial infarction (MI).We hypothesized that genetic variants associated with circulating lipid levels would also be assoc...
