MKL1-184C>T gene polymorphism is associated with coronary artery disease in the Chinese Han population

Abstract: ABSTRACT. We investigated genetic susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) by studying the association of MKL1 gene polymorphisms with CAD in the Chinese Han population. We performed a case-control study with 476 unrelated CAD patients and 325 non-CAD controls. All SNPs were genotyped with a TaqMan SNP genotyping assay. The distribution of MKL1-184C>T gene polymorphism in each group was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of the MKL1 T allele in the CAD group was significantly higher than in th… Show more

“…Minami et al have demonstrated that MRTF-A deficiency in an Apoe −/− background retards the process of atherosclerosis in mice [ 17 ]. Besides, population studies have identified a position correlation between MRTF-A polymorphisms and increased risk of coronary heart disease [ 18 , 19 ].…”
