Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to identify genetic variants that confer susceptibility to myocardial infarction (MI) in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS: The study population comprised 1887 Japanese individuals with MetS, including 773 subjects with MI and 1114 controls.
