Coronary artery disease (CAD) causes more than 700,000 deaths each year in China. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in populations of European ancestry identified several genetic loci for CAD, but no such study has yet been reported in the Chinese population. Here we report a three-stage GWAS in the Chinese Han population. We identified a new association between rs6903956 in a putative gene denoted asC6orf105on chromosome 6p24.1 and CAD (P= 5.00 × 10−3, stage 2 validation;P= 3.00 × 10−3,P= 1.19 × 10−8andP= 4.00 × 10−3in three independent stage 3 replication populations;P= 4.87 × 10−12, odds ratio = 1.51 in the combined population). The minor risk allele A of rs6903956 is associated with decreasedC6orf105mRNA expression. We report the first GWAS for CAD in the Chinese Han population and identify a SNP, rs6903956, inC6orf105associated with susceptibility to CAD in this population.
