Heritability of Carotid Artery Atherosclerotic Lesions
Stroke 36:5-8, Moskau,S.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Among the 3 ultrasound measures studied, IMT had the highest heritability. IMT was strongly influenced by genetic determinants other than those influencing known risk factors. This makes IMT a promising candidate for use as an intermediate phenotype in genetic studies aiming to identify novel genes for atherosclerosis.
