'Reducing the eclipse': The classical biochemical predictors of coronary heart disease still have a significant overlap (grey area) between cases (black circles) and controls (white circles). Current information based on isolated markers does not provide much better separation. The notion is that merging genetic, biochemical and behavioural information will provide the tools to get an early and close-to-complete separation between those individuals who could become 'cases' and those who will remain free of disease.
