IL-18-rs187238 was significantly associated with decreased risks of myocardial infarction (MI) (allelic OR = 0.81, homozygous OR = 0.55, dominant OR = 0.80) and multiple vessel stenosis (allelic OR = 0.54, heterozygous OR = 0.45, dominant OR = 0.45). This evidence concerns the gene IL18 and myocardial infarction.
