Genetic variants in transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 ( TM6SF2 ), such as E167K, are associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Chronic inflammation and lipid-laden macrophage foam cell formation are the central pathogeneses in the development of atherosclerosis. This st ...
