Common variation in the CD36 (fatty acid translocase) gene is associated with left-ventricular mass.

AIMS: Genetic variation in the fatty acid translocase (CD36) gene has been shown in animal models to affect several risk factors for the development of left-ventricular hypertrophy, but this phenotype has not, thus far, been investigated in humans. We examined the relationship between common genetic...
