Devlin Objectives—Identify gene variants associated with early-onset myocardial infarction (MI). Methods and Results—We tested 11 647 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for association with early-onset MI in a case-control study (study 1 200 cases, 262 controls). To reduce the number of false positives among the 666 SNPs that were nominally associated with early-onset MI (P0.05) in study 1, we tested these SNPs in study 2 (434 cases, 504 controls). We found that 8 of the 666 SNPs were associated with early-onset MI in study 2 (P0.05) and had the same risk alleles as in study 1. These 8 SNPs were then tested for association with early-onset MI in study 3 (187 cases, 434 controls). We found that a VAMP8 variant (P0.025; odds ratio [OR], 1.75; CI, 1.17 to 2.62) and an HNRPUL1 variant (P0.0043; OR, 1.92; CI, 1.28 to 2.86) were associated with early-onset MI (nominal TI - Gene Variants of VAMP8 and HNRPUL1 Are Associated With Early-Onset Myocardial Infarction JF - Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology DO - 10.1161/01.ATV.0000226543.77214.e4 DA - 2006-07-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wolters-kluwer-health/gene-variants-of-vamp8-and-hnrpul1-are-associated-with-early-onset-uu1aCELSez SP - 1613 EP - 1618 VL - 26 IS - 7 DP - DeepDyve ER -
