Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Genetic determinants of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) remain largely unknown. To identify genetic variants associated with the ankle-brachial index (ABI), a noninvasive measure of PAD, we conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association study data from 21 population-based cohorts.
38,376 European ancestry individuals, 2,133 Erasmus Rucphen individuals, 1,183 Old Order Amish individuals
