Abstract excerpt

Recent data provided strong evidence for the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) and galectin-2 (LGALS2) genes with myocardial infarction (MI) in a Japanese population. For populations of other genetic background, the relevance of these polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of MI remains controversial. We aimed to define the role of LTA and LGALS2 SNPs in two German MI...
