Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is the major cause of death and disability
worldwide. MI is a complex disease characterized by the inheritance of multiple
genetic variants acting in concert with environmental factors to promote the
disease state . It causes energy depletion through imbalance between coronary
blood supply and myocardial demand.
Irisin is a newly discovered Myokine that is secreted by the heart, skeletal
muscle, liver and kidneys and plays an important role in the homeostasis and
metabolism of energy balance. It was reported that cardiac muscle produces
more irisin than skeletal muscle .
The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of Irisin gene
single nucleotide polymorphism in patients with MI and its association with
other clinical and laboratory variables in these patients.
