A new study uncovers a previously unrecognized link between tobacco smoking and a gene known to influence the cardiovascular system, possibly identifying an early stage of smoking-associated cardiovascular pathology. The research may serve to guide future research strategies aimed at identifying and counteracting mechanisms of smoking-induced pathology.
