Reschner H, Milutinovič A, Petrovič D. The PECAM-1 gene polymorphism - a genetic marker of myocardial infarction. Cent Eur J Biol 2009; 4:515-20.

We investigated a possible association between the C373G (Leu125VaD polymorphism in the platelet endothelial celi adhesion) molecule-1 (PECAM-l) and myocardial infarction (MI) among patients with type 2 diabetes (T20M) in the Slovene population (Caucasians). The muitivariate model showed that the CC genotype of the PECAM-1 gene polymorphism (C373G) (OR=1.9, 95% CI 1.2-3.0, P=0.007) wasan independent risk factor for MI. Therefore, it might be used as genetic marker of MI in T20M.

In the MS the authors discusses the importance of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Polymorphisms and Myocardial Infarction as an genetic marker of myocardial infarction in type 2 diabetes.
