However, a cross-sectional study performed on 855 patients with DM2 showed that the percentage of subjects with detectable circulating levels of HSPD1/HSP60 was greater in patients with CVD as compared to subjects without CVD and an history of myocardial infarction was associated with higher levels of HSPD1/HSP60 [151]. The gene discussed is HSPD1; the disease is myocardial infarction.
