In a group of patients with T2D and suspected acute myocardial infarction (30), the distribution of MBL genotypes was comparable to the background population, however, as a group, the T2D patients with AMI had higher serum MBL levels than previously reported in the background population of T2D patients, which may be related to vascular stress (30). This evidence concerns the gene MBL2 and acute myocardial infarction.
