Abstract
We have been able to create a large-scale genetic data bank as a resource to undertake genetic association studies. Key elements in implementation of this GenBank and baseline characteristics of our patient cohort are summarized. Lastly, as a “proof of concept” for the utility of this resource to discern gene variants associated with disease, we validated apoE4 polymorphism as an independent risk factor for CAD.
