Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a strong predictor of coronary artery disease. A genome-wide association study of CAC in diverse populations, including 22,400 participants, identifies two previously unrecognized loci associated with CAC and provides insights into the underlying molecular mechanism of CAC.
