Genetic and functional association of FAM5C with myocardial infarctionJessica J Connelly
Department of Medicine and Center for Human Genetics, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA
BMC Med Genet 9:33. 2008..59, D1S1589/D1S518). The overlap of genetic screens in independent data sets provides evidence for the existence of a gene or genes for CAD in this region...
SNPs in Multi-species Conserved Sequences (MCS) as useful markers in association studies: a practical approachJacob L McCauley
Center for Human Genetics Research and Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA
