Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of TCF7L2 Are Linked to Diabetic Coronary Atherosclerosis
Axel Muendlein,Christoph H. Saely,Simone Geller-Rhomberg,Gudrun Sonderegger,Philipp Rein,Thomas Winder,Stefan Beer,Alexander Vonbank,Heinz Drexel +8 more
TL;DR: These results suggest that TCF7L2 variants rs7903146 rs12255372, and rs11196205 are significantly associated with angiographically diagnosed CAD, specifically in patients with T2DM, and appears as a genetic link between diabetes and atherosclerosis.
Evaluation of the association of genetic variants on the chromosomal loci 9p21.3, 6q25.1, and 2q36.3 with angiographically characterized coronary artery disease.

TL;DR: Genotyping in two large cohorts of consecutive Caucasian patients undergoing coronary angiography for the evaluation of suspected or established stable CAD show that variant rs1333049 is significantly associated with angiographically characterized CAD, and variant rs6922269 did not show any impact on coronary atherosclerosis.

Alanine aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyl transferase are associated with the metabolic syndrome but not with angiographically determined coronary atherosclerosis.
Christoph H. Saely,Alexander Vonbank,Philipp Rein,M. Woess,Stefan Beer,Stefan Aczel,Vlado Jankovic,Christian Boehnel,Lorenz Risch,Heinz Drexel +9 more
TL;DR: AlT, the ALT/AST ratio, and GGT are associated with the MetS but not with angiographically determined coronary atherosclerosis.

Low bone mineral density is not associated with angiographically determined coronary atherosclerosis in men
Stefan Beer,Christoph H. Saely,G. Hoefle,Philipp Rein,Alexander Vonbank,J. Breuss,B. Gaensbacher,Axel Muendlein,Heinz Drexel +8 more
TL;DR: The data show that the prevalence of low BMD is very high in men undergoing coronary angiography, however, neither osteopenia nor osteoporosis is associated with an increased prevalence of angiographically determined coronary atherosclerosis.

Roles of the metabolic syndrome, HDL cholesterol, and coronary atherosclerosis in subclinical inflammation.
TL;DR: C-reactive protein (CRP) did not differ between patients with significant CAD and subjects without significant CAD but was significantly higher in MetS patients than in those without MetS, and the association of the MetS with subclinical inflammation is driven by the low HDL cholesterol feature.
