[P1 A2: a new genetic risk factor for myocardial infarction].
The authors examined the rate of myocardial infarction at young age (under 50 years old) in group of 36 patients with a pathological gene (P1 A2) and in control group (55 healthy persons). They couldn't find difference between the results of two groups. After that they created a group from patients with "low risk rate" for myocardial infarction. In this group the rate of pathological gene is twofold, than in the control group. It is so seem, that in special cases of myocardial infarction the P1 A2 gene is the most important risk factor to produce the pathological function of thrombocytes and so to produce a higher incidence of arterial thrombosis (for example in coronaries).
