TRIB1 and coronary artery disorder: Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have shown that the TRPS1 (transcriptional repressor GATA binding 1) and TRIB1 (tribbles pseudokinase 1) genes located on chromosome 8q23-24 are associated with the predisposition to coronary artery disease (CAD) and with plasma lipid profile levels [4,5,6,7,8,9,10].
