Recent evidence suggests that genetic variants that confer susceptibility to myocardial infarction (MI) may differ between men and women or between individuals with or without conventional risk factors for MI. We previously showed that rs6929846 of BTN2A1 and rs2569512 of ILF3 were significantly associated with MI in Japanese individuals. In the present study, we examined the associations of rs6929846 of BTN2A1...
