Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14 is considered an important cell-activating mediator of inflammatory responses that may result in atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease (CAD), thrombus formation, and myocardial infarction (MI). We assessed the possibility that a C --> T nucleotide substitution polymorphism in the promoter (position -159) of the gene encoding CD14 constitutes a risk factor for CAD and MI.
