    ABSTRACT: Imaging-defined atherosclerosis represents an intermediate phenotype of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on directly measured coronary plaques using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) are scarce. In the so far largest population-based cohort with CCTA data, we performed a GWAS on coronary plaque burden as determined by the segment involvement score (SIS) in 24,811 European individuals. We identified 20 significant independent genetic markers for SIS, three of which were found in loci not implicated in ASCVD before. Further GWAS on coronary artery calcification showed similar results to that of SIS, whereas a GWAS on ultrasound-assessed carotid plaques identified both shared and non-shared loci with SIS.
