Coronary dominance is a clinically
important developmental phenotype that
dictates whether the left or right coronary
arteries perfuse the back of the heart.
Genome-wide association studies and
downstream experiments identified
CXCL12, a gene previously linked to
coronary artery disease, as a driver of
coronary dominance during fetal
development. These findings show that
common genetic variants influence
developmental processes in humans,
with implications for disease onset and
revascularization efforts later in life.

Michael Grome, a postdoctoral associate in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology at Yale and first author of the study, likened codons to three-letter words within a sentence in the genetic recipe for life. “A lot of these words are equivalent, or synonymous,” Grome said. “We set out to add more ingredients for building proteins, so we took three of these words for ‘stop’ and made them one. Two words were removed, then we re-engineered the cell so they were ‘freed’ for new function. We then engineered a cell that recognized the word to say something new, to represent a new ingredient.”
