Assigning Functional Mechanisms to a New Coronary Artery Susceptibility Gene
Gillian Douglas
PhD
University Research Lecturer
Large studies linking common variations to the occurrence of coronary artery disease have enabled us to identify several new genes that may have a causative influence on the susceptibility to developing coronary artery disease. However, for many of these genes the mechanism by which they alter cardiovascular disease pathology is unknown.
