Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the genetic contribution for myocardial infarction. METHODS: We investigated common polymorphisms of apolipoprotein E gene and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene in Japanese population. Subjects were 422 healthy people and 254 patients with myocardial infarction. We evaluated the 287 base pair (bp) insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism in intron 16 of the ACE gene and a...
