In a previous case control study of myocardial infarction (MI), we identified risk associated with the combination of two variants in the thrombomodulin (TM) gene (-1208-1209TTdelTT and A455V) and an interaction with increased body mass index (BMI). The rare alleles at these two common variant sites in the TM gene occur in most individuals on the same allele (V/delTT) and are in strong linkage disequilibrium...
