Although circulating apoA-I concentrations inversely associate with risk of CAD, the evidence base of this representing a causal relationship is lacking. The aim was to assess the causal role of apoA-I using human genetics. Methods: We identified a variant (rs12225230) in APOA1 locus that associated with circulating apoA-I concentrations...
