An association between the Ala allele of the P12A variant of the human PPARγ gene and development of CAD, particularly premature CAD, in individuals, and specifically in women, particularly Caucasian women, is described, as are methods of assessing or predicting the likelihood or risk that an individual, such as a woman, will develop premature CAD. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human resistin gene, human resistin gene variants, gender-related increase in premature coronary artery disease, methods of assessing or aiding in assessing the risk that an individual will develop premature CAD, and methods of predicting the likelihood or aiding in predicting the likelihood that an individual will develop premature CAD are described. |
