To investigate the recently reported associations of polymorphisms in lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) and galectin-2 (LGALS2) with myocardial infarction (MI), we analyzed a single nucleotide polymorphism of LTA (LTA 252A>G in LTA intron 1) and that of LGALS2 (LGALS2 3279C>T in LGALS2 intron 1) in Japanese and Korean populations. Although significant associations with MI were not observed in either population, we found...
