The Association of Gene Polymorphisms with the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease Occurrence and Cardiovascular Survival in the Polish Population: A Case-Control and a Prospective Cohort Study.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the polymorphisms of the gene affect the risk of occurrence and mortality due to CAD. The study group included 231 patients diagnosed with CAD and 240 control blood donors. The genotyping of specified polymorphisms, i.

Polymorphic Variants of , and Genes Influence the Survival of Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Genetic factors can influence the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the survival of patients. Our previous research led to the identification of genetic variants predisposing to CAD in the Polish population. Since many of them affect the clinical phenotype of the disease, the aim of this study was searching for genetic factors potentially influencing survival in patients with CAD.

Polymorphisms of the 11q23.3 Locus Affect the Risk and Mortality of Coronary Artery Disease.

Background: The present study aimed to determine whether the polymorphisms of the 11q23.3 locus affect the risk and mortality of coronary artery disease in 5-year and 10-year observations. Methods: The study group consisted of 519 subjects: 276 patients with CAD and 243 blood donors as controls.

The relationship between polymorphisms, coronary artery disease & serum lipid markers.

Polymorphic variants of the gene can increase the risk of atherosclerosis-based coronary artery disease (CAD) and modify serum lipid markers. We studied haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms of in the Caucasian population and if they are associated with CAD, its symptoms, and any of its risk factors. We did not find the genetic variants of to be associated with an increased risk of CAD.
