AIM: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major health problem in developed and developing nations. Development of CAD involves a complex interaction between genetics and lifestyle factors. Individuals with high-risk genetic predisposition along with poor lifestyle are more inclined to the development of CAD. Advancement in genotyping technologies and increase in genome wide studies has provided a platform to identify new risk factors associated with CAD and associated complexities. METHODOLOGY: In this study we performed genome wide screening in 76 well-defined CAD cases and 77 control samples in Indian population. Interestingly, new variants are identified in three genes viz, VLDLR, IFITM2 and C2CD4C. RESULTS: The odds ratios observed for variant rs1869592 (VLDLR), rs1059091 (IFITMI) and rs7247159 (C2CD4C) were 2.6 (1.4-4.8 95% CI), 1.9 (95% CI 1.2-3.1) and 2.1 (1.2-3.7 95% CI), respectively with significant P value <0.01. These variants that are associated with pathogenesis of CAD were not previously reported in literature. Moreover, we anticipate that these variants will be further validated using a larger sample size. AJTR
