Convergence of biomarkers and risk factor trait loci of coronary artery disease at 3p21.31 and HLA region

Abstract Here we seek to identify molecular biomarkers that mediate the effect of risk factors on coronary artery disease (CAD). We perform a SNP-based multiomics data analysis to find biomarkers (probes) causally associated with the risk of CAD within known genomic loci for its risk factors. We ide...
