Among the 13 loci newly associated with CAD (P < 5 × 10−8) in the very large meta-analysis performed by Schunkert et al. in 14 GWAS comprising 22,233 CAD patients and 64,762 controls of European descent followed by genotyping of 56,682 additional individuals (Schunkert et al., 2011), the risk allele on chromosome 9q34.2 (rs579459) in the ABO gene resulted associated with CAD (P = 4.08 × 10−14) and weakly with increased LDL (P = 0.0049) and total cholesterol (P = 0.0038). The gene discussed is ABO; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
