A variant of beta fibrinogen is a genetic risk factor for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.

Journal of investigative medicine : the official publication of the American Federation for Clinical Research - 1 Apr 1996

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease is a complex trait caused by a number of genetic and environmental factors. Genes involved in hemostasis and coagulation are excellent candidate genes for CAD and its thrombotic complications, i.e., myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina. METHODS: We determined the frequency of beta-fibrinogen genotypes in a homogenous patient population with CAD undergoing coronary...
