  ABSTRACT: The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) has pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic effects. Low plasma levels of soluble RAGE (sRAGE), a decoy receptor for RAGE ligands, have been associated with increased risk for major adverse coronary events (MACE) in the general population. We performed a genome-wide association study to identify genetic determinants of plasma sRAGE in 4338 individuals from the cardiovascular arm of the Malmö Diet and Cancer study (MDC-CV). Further, we explored the associations between these genetic variants, incident first-time MACE and mortality in 24,640 unrelated individuals of European ancestry from the MDC cohort. The minor alleles of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): rs2070600, rs204993, rs116653040, and rs7306778 were independ
