There was no interaction between the weighted genetic risk score and nutrient intake. Interactions were observed between single SNP and nutrient intake for BMI• Conducted genome-wide association study for CAD in the Singaporean population using high performance computing clusters in Unix environments and identified an Asian specific missense variant at APOA5 for CAD Show less
