Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD).Traditional risk factors can be used to identify individuals at high risk for developing CVD and are generally associated with the extent of atherosclerosis; however, substantial numbers of individuals at low or intermediate risk still develop atherosclerosis.A case-control study was performed using microarray gene expression profiling of peripheral blood from 119 healthy women in the MultiEthnic Study of Atherosclerosis cohort aged 50 or above.
