"The aim of this study was to assess the association between the human CYP8A1 gene and myocardial infarction (MI) in Chinese people. 210 MI patients and 206 age-matched controls were genotyped and constructed haplotypes for 3 SNPs [3982C >T (rs5602), C1117A (rs5629), C251T (rs454-98106)] of the human CYP8A1 gene," scientists in Urumqi, People's Republic of China report (see also Heart Attack).
"The CC genotype of rs5629 was more frequently in MI patients than in control subjects (P = .030). The frequency of the A-C-T haplotype was significantly higher in MI patients than in control subjects (P = .001). The frequency of the C-T-T haplotype was significantly lower ...
