CADgene is a database of genes involved in coronary artery disease.[1]
Description
The CADgene database allows users to browse all genes that affect the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD). The database can be grouped by genes that affect certain categories of features that affect CAD, including genes affecting the immune system and inflammation, or genes that affect vascular health and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.[1] CADgene amalgamates data from various Genome-Wide-Association (GWAS) studies that would allow researchers to identify genes that could potentially be associated with other diseases.[2]
