The international Myocardial Infarction Genetics Consortium published a GWAS study for early-onset myocardial infarction and identified 9 significant loci, including regions near MRPS6-SLC5A3-KCNE2, PHACTR1, WDR12, CELSR2-PSRC1-SORT1, CXCL12, MIA3, LDLR and PCSK95. Here, WDR12 is linked to myocardial infarction.
