However, current data indicate that screening for interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, TLR4, CCR5, COX and LOX polymorphisms are likely to be a useful tool for CHD and MI risk assessment.
The allele frequencies of the CCR5 (-2135C/T) polymorphism differed significantly between CHD children and KD children (-2135T/T, 16.75% vs. 30.05%, aOR 2.14, 95% CI 1.31-3.51).
We interrogated the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D (Coronary ARtery DIsease Genome wide Replication and Meta-analysis [CARDIoGRAM] plus The Coronary Artery Disease [C4D] Genetics) (60 801 cases and 123 504 controls), the MIGen and CARDIoGRAM Exome consortia (42 335 cases and 78 240 controls), and Exome Sequencing Project and Early-Onset Myocardial Infarction (ESP EOMI; 4703 cases and 5090 controls) data sets to ascertain the relationship between common, low frequency, and rare variation in CCR2, CCR5, or CX3CR1 with CAD and MI.
