IL13 and coronary artery disorder: In the allelic association analysis, we found the following: in the discovery cohort, none of the three variants (i.e., rs1881457, rs2069744 and rs20541) in IL13 exhibited a significant association with CAD before or after adjustment for the traditional risk factors for CAD (p > 0.05); in the validation cohort, the three variants also exhibited no associations with CAD (p > 0.05); and in the combined cohort, the association results between all three SNPs and CAD were non-significant (padj > 0.05; Table 2).
