Role of genetics in prevention of coronary atherosclerosis

Giuseppe Novelli et al. Curr Opin Cardiol. 2003 Sep.

Abstract

Atherosclerosis is currently regarded as a complex disorder, triggered by gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Despite the difficulties of multifactorial disease genetic analysis, significant progress has been achieved in the search for atherosclerosis susceptibility genes. Here, we review these advances with regard to genome scan results and candidate gene analysis.
