Cardiovascular disease collectively accounts for a quarter of deaths worldwide. Genome-wide association studies across a range of cardiovascular traits and pathologies have highlighted the prevalence of common non-coding genetic variants within candidate loci. Here, we review genetic, epigenomic and molecular approaches to investigate the contribution of non-coding regulatory elements in cardiovascular biology. We then discuss recent insights on the emerging role of non-coding variation in predi ...[more]
