Abstract excerpt
Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI). We previously showed that gene polymorphisms associated with MI differed among individuals with different lipid profiles. We further examined whether genetic variants that confer susceptibility to MI might differ among individuals with low or high serum concentrations of triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, or low...
