SNPs in CDH13 have been associated with total cholesterol and LDL levels (Dong et al. 2011; Lee et al. 2013), coronary artery disease (CAD) (Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 2007), hypertension and blood pressure (Org et al. 2009; Levy et al. 2007; Lee et al. 2013), hyperlipidemia and myocardial infarction (Shia et al. 2011), metabolic syndrome (Fava et al. 2011) and preeclampsia (Wan et al. 2013). Here, CDH13 is linked to coronary artery disorder.
