The authors identified 25 new SNP–CAD associations (P < 5 × 10−8) from 15 genomic regions, including SNPs in PECAM1 (rs1867624, P = 3.98 × 10−8) and in PROCR (rs867186, P = 2.70 × 10−9) genes, that are involved in cellular adhesion, leukocyte migration and inflammation (Howson et al., 2017). Here, PECAM1 is linked to coronary artery disorder.
