Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASes) have demonstrated that the rs577272 SNP near the Solute carrier family 44 member 4 gene (SLC44A4; also knows as: CTL4; NG22; TPPT; DFNA72; hTPPT1; C6orf29, GeneID:80736, HGNC ID: 13941, locus type: gene with protein product, located in chromosome 6p21.33) was associated with serum TC and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, which are all risk factors for CHD [14]. Here, CRP is linked to coronary artery disorder.
