Seventeen SNPs in or adjacent to 11 genes that had previously been described to be associated with atherosclerotic disease (ELN, LIMK1, CDKN2A/B, CXCL12, Pseudogene ENSG00000197218, PSRC-1, MTHFD1L, SMAD3, MIA3, PDGF-B, TIMP2) were analyzed, again comparing 40 DNA samples of European MMD patients to 68 healthy controls. The gene discussed is TIMP2; the disease is multiminicore myopathy.
