Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A recent survey of 11,053 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 6891 genes suggested that the risk of myocardial infarction was related to specific genes so far not linked with atherosclerotic diseases. The genes encode the cytoskeletal protein palladin (PALLD), a receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1), a taste receptor (TAS2R50), an olfactory receptor (OR13G1), and a zinc finger protein (ZNF627). METHODS: We...
