These associations did not disappear when the analyses were corrected for multiple comparisons for other gene polymorphisms (ACE I/D gene variation, angiotensinogen T174M and M235T gene polymorphisms, AT1 receptor gene variation, phox C242T gene polymorphism, paraoxonase PON54 and PON191 gene variations) (2p = 0.01 in MLR for the presence of CAD; 2p = 0.039 in multiple regression for the extent of CAD).
In the total population and in high and low risk groups the relative frequencies of the C242T alleles were essentially the same in patients without or with CAD and in individuals without or with myocardial infarction.
