摘要:
Polymorphisms in the FLAP and LTA4H gene are shown by genetic association analysis to be susceptibility markers for myocardial infarction (MI) and ACS, as well as stroke and PAOD. Pathway targeting for treatment and diagnostic applications in identifying those who are at risk of developing MI, ACS, stroke or PAOD, in particular are described. The invention also provides methods of prophylaxis therapy for MI in human subjects having a race including black African ancestry by administering to the subject a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of MI therapeutic agent that inhibits leukotriene synthesis in vivo. The invention also provides for compositions comprising a leukotriene synthesis inhibitor and a statin and methods of using these compositions to reduce C-reactive protein in a human subject at risk of MI, ACS, stroke and/or PAOD.
摘要:
Linkage of myocardial infarction (MI) with a locus on chromosome 12q23 is disclosed. In particular, the LTA4H gene within this locus is shown by association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for MI. Methods for preventing and/or treating the recurrence of MI, in particular are described.
摘要:
Linkage of myocardial infarction (MI) and a locus on chromosome 13q12 is disclosed. In particular, the FLAP gene within this locus is shown by genetic association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for MI and ACS, as well as stroke and PAOD. Pathway targeting for treatment and diagnostic applications in identifying those who are at risk of developing MI, ACS, stroke or PAOD, in particular are described. The invention also provides for compositions comprising a leukotriene synthesis inhibitor and a stating and methods of using these compositions to reduce C-reactive protein in a human subject at risk of MI, ACS, stroke and/or PAOD.

摘要:
The invention relates to methods of risk assessment and diagnosis of susceptibility to coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, by assessing the presence or absence of alleles of certain polymorphic markers found to be associated with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. The invention also relates to methods for use of such polymorphic markers for predicting drug response to drugs for treating cardiovascular disease, or for monitoring the effectiveness of such drugs. The invention further relates to kits encompassing reagents for use in these methods.

The invention relates to methods of diagnosing susceptibility to cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease. MI, abdominal aorta aneurysm, intracranial aneurysm restenosis and peripheral arterial disease, by assessing the presence or absence of alleles of certain polymorphic markers found to be associated with cardiovascular disease. The invention further relates to kits encompassing reagents for assessing such markers, and methods for assessing the probability of response to therapeutic agents and methods using such markers.
