Abstract

A recent genome wide association study in the Chinese population has implicated rs6903956 within the ADTRP gene on chromosome 6p24.1 as a novel susceptibility locus for coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we evaluated the association of rs6903956 with CAD in the different ethnic groups of Singaporean population comprising Chinese, Malays and Asian Indians.
