TGFB1 and myocardial infarction: In the present study, the minor allele of TGFB1 rs1800469 was associated with an increased risk of incident coronary events (HR = 1.30; CI 95% 1.02–1.65; p 0.04), supporting findings from a recent meta-analysis that evaluated associations between rs1800496 and myocardial infarction (MI), identifying significant associations between homozygous and heterozygous minor allele genotypes and increased MI risk, compared to major allele homozygotes [58].
