Association of the genetic markers for myocardial infarction with sudden cardiac death.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Investigate the association of rs17465637 gene MIAF3 (1q41), rs1376251 gene TAS2R50 (12p13), rs4804611 gene ZNF627 (19p13), rs619203 gene ROS1 (6q22), rs1333049 (9p21), rs10757278 (9p21), rs2549513 (16q23), rs499818 (6p24) associated with myocardial infarction available from the international genome-wide studies with sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a case-control study.

Methods

A sample of SCD cases (n=285) was formed using the WHO criteria; the control sample (n=421) was selected according to sex and age. DNA was isolated by phenol-chloroform extraction from the myocardial tissue of SCD cases and blood of control cases. The groups were genotyped for the selected SNPs by real-time PCR using TaqMan probes (Applied Biosystems, United States).
