Genetic variants of APOE and CCR4 as determinants of myocardial infarction among type 2 diabetes patients: a South Indian case–control analysis

Key Points

• Myocardial infarction rates were significantly linked to APOE and CCR4 variants in type 2 diabetes patients.
• The study identified specific genetic variants that contribute to increased risk of myocardial infarction, including those in the APOE and CCR4 genes.
• Analysis focused on South Indian patients with type 2 diabetes, revealing novel associations between genetic variants and myocardial infarction risk.
• Understanding these genetic influences may lead to targeted prevention strategies for myocardial infarction in type 2 diabetes individuals.
