Abstract excerpt

We evaluated the role of the MEF2A as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in 1186 subjects with angiographically documented disease compared with 885 CAD-free individuals in the Saudi population. Screening the gene revealed exon 11 as the most polymorphic of all coding regions, harbouring several substitution polymorphisms and insertion/deletions (indels) at a locus containing an 11 CAG trinucleotide...
