Cardiovascular genetic medicine: the genetics of coronary heart disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advances in genomic technologies have provided researchers with an unprecedented opportunity to identify genes that may contribute to the development of coronary heart disease. The power of these technologies lies in their ability to survey the entire genome in a nonbiased fashion to find genes and gene variants associated with coronary heart disease. This article reviews different genomic approaches for studying coronary heart disease and the clinical implications of using genetic information.

Direct Bisulfite Sequencing and Methylation Specific PCR to Detect Methylation of p15INK4b and F7 genes in Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants contributing to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at the chromosome 9p21 locus. The chromosome 9p21 is an important susceptibility locus for several multifactorial diseases like ischemic stroke, aortic aneurysm, type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (CAD). F7 gene because of its role in activating the ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) including myocardial infarction (MI) as its complication, is one of the most common heart diseases worldwide and also in Iran, with extremely elevated mortality. CAD is a multifactorial disorder. Twin and family studies at different loci have demonstrated that genetic factors have an important role in the progression of CAD. Many studies have reported a significant...

Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial problem. Although hyperlipidemia (HLP), diabetes (DM), and hypertension (HTN) are known as the familial and cardiac risk factors, CABG is rare in the several members of a family. We reported the six members of a family who presented with MI and/or advanced angina pectoris during the 6 years. CABG(Coronary artery bypass graft) considere...

Although genetic variants that affect susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) have been greatly known, a number of these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) remain to be analyzed in populations with different ethnicities. CAD is influenced by numerous genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, and is an important reason for mortality around the globe. In this study, a novel SNP (...

Cardiovascular disease has become the main factor of death and birth defects in the world and also in Iran. New clinical studies have shown that early diagnosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) can contribute to effective prevention or therapeutic structures, which reduce mortality or the next chance of cardiovascular events, and increase the quality of life. Most studies on CAD d...
