Most of the patients were Caucasian men; the number of patients with adequate BMI was small; we did not perform imaging tests as a gold standard method to evaluate the body fat distribution and identify TAV and TAS compartments; our findings do not define causality, considering the cross-sectional design of the study; we did not specifically evaluate the atopic state of the participants; there was no control group including individuals without CAD; and we did not evaluate the important cytokines, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
