Similar distributions of rs1799750 and rs3025058 were observed in both groups; however, the MMP9 rs3918242 T allele and the CT genotype were associated with the risk of developing MI (OR = 2.32, pC = 0.02 and OR = 2.40, pC = 0.02, respectively).
Genotype distributions of haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs522616, rs650108, rs569444, rs635746) and rs3025058 were not significantly different between a group with MI (n=3657) and a control group (n=1211) (p> or =0.24).
