Abstract excerpt
The purpose of the present study was to establish the role of DDAH gene polymorphisms in the risk of developing myocardial infarction (MI) in a clinical cohort of Mexican patients. One polymorphism (rs1498373) in the DDAH1 and three in the DDAH2 (rs805304, rs3131383, and rs805305) genes were performed by TaqMan genotyping assays in 473 patients with MI and 447 healthy unrelated controls. Similar distribution of...
