- Population
- Italian (Sicily)
- Study Design
- 3 MEFV associated mutations, M694V (A2080G), M694I (G2082A) and V726A (T2177C), were examined in 121 patients affected by acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 68 centenarians, and 196 age-matched controls from Sicily.
- Conclusions
- The proinflammatory M694V (A2080G) mutation was over-represented significantly in coronary heart disease patients and under-represented in oldest old, and intermediate values were in healthy, young controls
