The aim of this study was to investigate the association between rs2781666 G/T polymorphism of arginase I ( ARG I) gene and myocardial infarction (MI) in the Tunisian male population. Three hundred eighteen patients with MI and 282 controls were recruited. The rs2781666 G/T polymorphism of ARG I was...
