Abstract excerpt
Myocardial infarction is a common disease and among the leading causes of death in the world. We previously reported association of variants in LGALS2, encoding galectin-2, with myocardial infarction susceptibility in a case-control association study in a Japanese population. Here we identify BRAP (BRCA1-associated protein) as a galectin-2-binding protein. We report an association of SNPs in BRAP with myocardial...
