  • Use of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) gene to assess susceptibility for myocardial infarction
    Patent number: 7507531
    Abstract: Linkage of Myocardial Infarction (MI) to a locus on chromosome 13q12-13 is disclosed. In particular, the FLAP gene within this locus is shown by association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for MI and stroke. Pathway targeting for drug delivery and diagnosis applications in identifying those at risk of developing MI or stroke, in particular are described.
