Differential endothelial cell gene expression by African Americans versus Caucasian Americans: A possible contribution to health disparity in vascular disease and cancer

Background: African Americans (AA) have increased burdens of cardiovascular disease and cancer compared to Caucasian Americans (CA). This study addresses the possibility that genetic differences affecting the biology of the vascular endothelium could be a factor contributing to this health disparity.
