Ultra-rare gene variants drive coronary artery disease risk in European ancestry

Researchers found that ultra-rare genetic variants play a significant role in the heritability of coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in individuals of European ancestry. These variants, especially those altering proteins or regulating genes in heart cells, pose higher risks than common variants.
