Genome-wide association studies have described an association between MIA3 rs17465637 A/C polymorphisms and coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.
In a genome-wide scan, isolated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs17465637, in the melanoma inhibitory activity 3 gene (MIA3) on chromosome 1 were identified to be associated with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction (MI).
The combined analysis of the two studies identified four additional loci significantly associated with coronary artery disease (P<1.3x10(-6)) and a high probability (>80%) of a true association: chromosomes 1p13.3 (rs599839), 1q41 (rs17465637), 10q11.21 (rs501120), and 15q22.33 (rs17228212).
