In order to find new informative predictors of myocardial infarction, we performed an analysis of genotype frequencies of polymorphic markers of SELE (rs2076059, 3832T > C), SELP (rs6131, S290 N), SELL (rs1131498, rs1131498" genes_norm="6402">F206L), ICAM1 (rs5498, K469E), VCAM1 (rs3917010, c.928 + 420A > C), PECAM1 (rs668, V125L), VEGFA (rs35569394, -2549(18)I/D), CCL2 (rs1024611, -2518A > G), NOS3 (rs1799983, E298D), and DDAH1 (rs669173, c.303 + 30998A > G) genes in the group of Russian men with myocardial infarction (N = 315) and the control group of corresponding ethnicity, gender, and age (N = 286).
One polymorphism (rs1498373) in the DDAH1 and three in the DDAH2 (rs805304, rs3131383, and rs805305) genes were performed by TaqMan genotyping assays in 473 patients with MI and 447 healthy unrelated controls.
