    Genetics of coronary atherosclerosis with an emphasis on blood lipids 
    Björnsson, Eyþór (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2021-10-08)
    Kransæðasjúkdómur dregur fleiri til dauða á hverju ári en nokkur annar sjúkdómur á heimsvísu. Sjúkdómurinn einkennist af framvindu æðakölkunar, sem er flókið og margþætt ferli. Á undanförnum 14 árum hafa rannsóknir með víðtækri erfðamengisleit leitt ...
