What is the genetic contribution to the development of the most common forms of atherosclerosis?

The genetic contribution to atherosclerosis involves multiple genes that influence lipid metabolism, inflammation, and vascular function. Variants in genes such as APOE, LDLR, and PCSK9 can affect cholesterol levels and susceptibility to plaque formation. Additionally, polygenic risk scores have been developed to assess the cumulative effect of numerous genetic variants on an individual's risk for atherosclerosis. Environmental factors and lifestyle choices also interact with these genetic predispositions, influencing the overall development of the disease.


What tissues are affected in Atherosclerosis?

Atherosclerosis is a disorder that affects your heart and blood vessels that support it. Atherosclerosis is also known as the hardening of the arteries. The blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen throughout the body become much smaller than they were. This is body of fatty deposits that collect inside of the artery. This fatty deposit is also known as plaque. This fatty deposit, or plaque, will eventually build up and clog the artery so badly that it cuts off the entire blood supply.
