Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the association between the human CYP8A1 gene and myocardial infarction (MI) in Chinese people. METHODS: 210 MI patients and 206 age-matched controls were genotyped and constructed haplotypes for 3 SNPs [3982C>T (rs5602), C1117A (rs5629), C251T (rs454-98106)] of the human CYP8A1 gene. RESULTS: The CC genotype of rs5629 was more frequently in MI patients than in...
