Abstract
Background: The eicosanoid genes ALOX5, ALOX5AP and LTA4H have been implicated in atherosclerosis. We assessed the impact of common variants in these genes on gene expression, circulating protein levels, and atherosclerotic plaque phenotypes. Methods: We included patients from the Stockholm Atherosclerosis Gene Expression study (STAGE, N=109), and the Athero-Express Biobank
