Adjustmentfor potential risk factors with association to elevated hs‐cTnT (age, sex, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, hs‐CRP, smoking and physical activity), showed that FH‐HD and FH‐P‐HD remained significantly associated with elevated hs‐cTnT (OR=1.62, p=0.025 and OR=1.70, p=0.039, respectively). The gene discussed is TNNT2; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
