| Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the effect of the macrophage migration
inhibitory factor (MIF) genotype on the risk of myocardial infarction (MI), alone and in combination with other risk
factor of MI. METHOD: A total of 423 cases with a first MI and 465 controls from the Maltese Acute Myocardial Infarction (MAMI) Study were analysed. Data was collected through an interviewer-led questionnaire and various biochemical measurements. The MIF G-173C, C656G, and C624T polymorphisms were genotyped in all participants. Odds ratios (AdjORs) adjusted for conventional risk factors of MI were calculated as an estimate of the relative risk of MI. [excerpt] |
