HMGB1 and myocardial infarction: The aim was to analyze the relative expression levels of HMGB1, TGF-β1, BIRC3, ADAM17, CDKN1A, and FTO genes in patients six months after MI and to correlate changes in the LV echocardiographic parameters with these genes’ relative expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
