Exome sequencing identifies rare LDLR and APOA5 alleles conferring risk for myocardial infarction.

Exome sequencing identifies rare LDLR and APOA5 alleles conferring risk for myocardial infarction.

Myocardial infarction (MI), a leading cause of death around the world, displays a complex pattern of inheritance. When MI occurs early in life, genetic inheritance is a major component to risk. Previously, rare mutations in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) genes have been shown to contribute to MI risk...
