BACKGROUND: Genetic factors partly determine the risk for premature myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVES: We report the identification of a novel rare genetic variant in a kindred with an autosomal dominant trait for premature MI and atherosclerosis and explored the association of a common nonsynonymous variant in the same gene with the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in a population-based study. METHODS:...
