MalaCards: Cholesterol is related to carcinoma and neuronitis. An important gene associated with Cholesterol is SOAT2 (sterol O-acyltransferase 2), and among its related pathways are Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer and p38 Signaling. The compounds atp and vegf have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone marrow, whole blood and lymph node, and related mouse phenotypes are cellular and cardiovascular system. CDC: Having high blood cholesterol puts you at risk for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. About 1 of every 6 adult Americans has high blood cholesterol.12 Wikipedia: Cholesterol, from the Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid) followed by the chemical suffix -ol for an...44 more... |
