“…Indeed, these two measures may represent the heterogeneity of atherosclerosis pathophysiology: while cIMT represent the thickening of intima‐media, an area that increases according to aging and smooth muscle hypertrophy, plaque is specific for evident atherosclerosis (Naqvi and Lee, ; Weber et al, ). So far, the SNV LIPC rs2070895 was only related with increased risk of peripheral vascular disease, ischemic heart disease, and CAD risk in different populations (Andersen et al, ; de Andrade et al, ; Eller et al, ; Valdivielso et al, ). However, a meta‐analysis of 11,906 cases and 13,273 health controls suggests that both SNVs LIPC rs2070895 and ‐514C/T (rs1800588) are not associated with susceptibility to coronary heart disease (Wang et al, ).…”
