Single nucleotide polymorphisms of TCF7L2 are linked to diabetic coronary atherosclerosis.

<h4>Background</h4>Coronary artery disease (CAD) shares common risk factors with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Variations in the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene, particularly rs7903146, increase T2DM risk. Potential links between genetic variants of the TCF7L2 locus and coronary at...
