    • Background To investigate the epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk, as well as the functional regulation of chromatin structure and function, we have created a catalog of genetic variants associated with three stages of transcriptional cis-regulation in primary human coronary artery vascular smooth muscle cells (HCASMC). Results To this end, we have used a pooling approach with HCASMC lines to map regulatory variation that mediates binding of the CAD… CONTINUE READING
