Previously, we found an association between two potentially functional variants, according to the RegulomeDB database [16], in the LGALS-3 containing haplotype block, rs2274273 and rs17128183, with the risk for LV remodeling and with LGALS-3 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients 6 months post-MI [17]. The gene discussed is LGALS3; the disease is myocardial infarction.
