Correspondingly, levels of both dsDNA and MPO-DNA were significantly higher among patients suffering an anterior MI (43.2%) as compared to other infarct locations (424 ng/ml (376, 476) vs. 409 ng/ml (369, 465) and 0.188 OD (0.146, 0.292) vs. 0.171 OD (0.135, 0.244), p ≤ 0.031 for both). This evidence concerns the gene MPO and myocardial infarction.
