Genetic variation in the leukotriene pathway is associated with myocardial infarction in the Chinese population

Abstract Background Genetic variation in the genes ALOX5 (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase), ALOX5AP (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein) and LTA4H (leukotriene A4 hydrolase) has previously been shown to contribute to the risk of MI (myocardial infarction) in Caucasian and African American po...
