TBP and atherosclerosis: Because TBP-binding regions are the best-studied regulatory sequences within the human genome [21], here, using SNP_TATA_Comparator [45], we analyzed 1189 SNPs within these regions and as a result predicted 237 candidate SNP markers of atherosclerosis in addition to the only clinically proven SNP marker of this disorder (Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8 and Table 9) as shown in row 7 of Table 1.
