Abstract Background Case-control Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the 9p21 locus as risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). The locus does not contain a clear candidate gene. Hence. the results of GWAS have raised an intense interest in delineating the basis for the observed association. https://www.southernrootwork.com/product-category/nector-collector/
