A new study from the University of Eastern Finland identified 12 different cell types involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease, CAD. The researchers also showed that the genetic risk factors for CAD take their effect especially via smooth vascular muscle cells, which change their phenotype as the disease progresses.

According to a new study published in The American Journal of Human Genetics, more than one third of genetic variants that increase the risk of coronary artery disease regulate the expression of genes in the liver. These variants have an impact on the expression of genes regulating cholesterol metabolism, among other things. The findings provide valuable new insight into the genetics of coronary artery disease. The study was conducted in collaboration between the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio University Hospital, the University of California Los Angeles, and the University of Arizona...
