Abstract
Methods and assays are disclosed for predicting a patient's risk for an inflammatory disorder such as coronary artery disease or related vascular disorders. The methods comprise obtaining a biological sample from a patient and determining the presence or absence of a particular allele which is linked with coronary artery disease. Detection of the allele is indicative of susceptibility to develop coronary artery disease. Kits for the detection of coronary artery disease are additionally provided, as are means for identifying additional alleles associated with coronary artery disease.
