APOL1 and myocardial infarction: Using multivariable logistic regression, we assessed the association between tobacco smoking and CHD, overall and with its most severe subtype, myocardial infarction (MI), among all participants and APOL1 genotype subgroups.<h4>Results</h4>Among participants, 41% were current (14%) or former (27%) smokers, 54% carried APOL1 risk variants (1 or 2 alleles), and 28% had CHD, including 16% having MI.
