As expected, the DSVs only identified in controls or the DSVs found in MI patients and controls with similar frequencies, g.237312T>C (rs3817629), g.236956G>T, g.236878_79ins, g.236775del (rs369178836), g.236634C>T, g.236583A>C and g.236460T>C, did not significantly changed the transcriptional activity of the SIRT3 gene promoter (P>0.05). Here, SIRT3 is linked to myocardial infarction.
