Genetic Epidemiology and Genome-Wide Linkage Analysis of Carotid Artery Ultrasound Traits in Multigenerational African Ancestry Families

OBJECTIVE: Intima-media thickness, adventitial diameter and lumen diameter are indicators of cardiovascular disease risk. The influence of genetic factors on these measures in African ancestry populations is not well defined. Therefore, we estimated heritability and performed genome-wide linkage ana...
