Sažetak
In this study we investigated the association of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene variable number tandem repeat
(IL1RN VNTR) polymorphism and of the inhibitor of kappa B-like protein (IKBL) gene polymorphism with myocardial
infarction (MI) in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes. The IL1RN VNTR and the IKBL+738T>C gene polymorphisms
were tested in 374 Caucasians: 151 cases with MI and 223 subjects with no history of coronary artery disease.
The IL1RN VNTR polymorphism was not a risk factor for MI in Caucasians with type 2 diabetes (genotype 22 vs. the
rest: odds ratio (OR) 1.6; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.8–3.5; p=0.2). We also failed to demonstrate that IKBL+
738T>C gene polymorphism was associated with MI in patients with type 2 diabetes (OR =0.9; 95% CI = 0.3–2.6;
p=0.9). We provide evidence that the IL1RN VNTR and the IKBL+738T>C gene polymorphisms are not risk factors for
MI in Caucasians with type 2 diabetes.
