Heart health linked to lower coronary risk in mutation carriers
A standard-deviation score increase was linked to coronary disease hazard ratios (relative event rates) of 0.74 in mutation carriers versus 0.68 in noncarriers.A standard-deviation score increase was linked to coronary disease hazard ratios (relative event rates) of 0.74 in mutation carriers versus 0.68 in noncarriers.
