(-75 G>A and 83 C>T) and (2488 C>T) polymorphisms and their association with myocardial infarction, lipids and apolipoproteins in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: The increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is well documented. Polymorphisms in and genes allow us to identify new genetic markers in the Mexican population with T2DM and MI.

Material And Methods: We studied 135 patients with DMT2 and MI (DI); another 85 non-infarcted diabetic individuals with DMT2 but without previous ischemic events (NID) and 242 healthy subjects (HS).
