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 also showed that rs6929846 of BTN2A1 and rs2569512 of ILF3 were significantly associated with MI in Japanese individuals. In the present study, we examined the relationship between rs6929846 of BTN2A1 or rs2569512 of...
