In the end, we first found atherosclerosis-related candidate SNP markers signoficantly changing the affinity of TATA-binding protein for promoters of these human gene, frequencies of which differes from the commonly accepted genome-wide norm as if they were under pressure of stabilizing natural selection, which summing up neutral drift accelerating atherogenesis and directional natural selection slowing it down
