Our results revealed that an intron SNP, rs1199337, tends to be marginally associated with CAD as previously reported in Caucasians (nominal P=0.01, OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01-1.20).
p.Gly23Val-MRAS is both necessary and sufficient to elicit a cardiac hypertrophy phenotype in iPSC-CMs that includes increased cell size, changes in cardiac gene expression, and abnormal calcium handling-providing further evidence to establish the monogenetic pathogenicity of p.Gly23Val-MRAS in NS with cardiac hypertrophy.
Interestingly, rs253662 (p = 0.014) and rs6782181 (p = 0.019) were protective against acquiring high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (hLDL-chol) levels (p = 0.014), while rs1720819 showed similar effects against CAD (p < 0.0001).

In relation to lipid profile, rs40593, rs751357, rs6782181 were associated with increased total cholesterol (TC) levels.Summarily, this study suggested that MRAS rs40593 may contribute to the increased risk of area of cerebral infarction of IS in Han population. rs40593, rs751357, and rs6782181 were associated with higher serum TC levels.
The rs6782181_GG also conferred risk for obesity (1,764 cases vs. 2,586 controls) [1.16(1.03-1.30); p = 0.017], hypercholesterolaemia (1,686 vs. 2,744) [1.23(1.02-1.47); p = 0.019], hypertriglyceridaemia (1,155 vs. 3,496) [1.29(1.01-1.45); p = 0.043] and low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (lHDL-chol) levels (1,935 vs. 2,401) [1.15(1.02-1.30); p = 0.023] after adjustment.

Among the studied SNPs, rs6782181 (p = 0.017) and rs9818870T (p = 0.009) were associated with CAD following adjustment for sex, age and other confounding risk factors.
