“…Historically, the G-75A and the C+83T polymorphisms have been investigated in relation to coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiovascular risk factors ( Reguero et al, 1998 , Jeenah et al, 1990 , Sigurdsson et al, 1992 , Talmud et al, 1994 , Wang et al, 1996 , Bai et al, 1996 , Chhabra et al, 2003 , Shanker et al, 2008 , Dawar et al, 2010 , Miroshnikova et al, 2011 , Biswas et al, 2013 ). However, it is increasingly believed that these polymorphisms may have important roles to play in a host of other disorders such as Alzheimer's disease ( Vollbach et al, 2005 , Smach et al, 2011 ), multiple sclerosis ( Koutsis et al, 2009 ), schizophrenia ( Yang et al, 2010 ), breast cancer ( Hamrita et al, 2011 ), Parkinson's disease ( Swanson et al, 2014 ), cholelithiasis ( Dixit et al, 2007 ), gout ( Cardona et al, 2005 ), diabetes mellitus ( Ma et al, 2003 ) and acute lung injury following cardio-pulmonary bypass surgery ( Tu et al, 2013 ).…”
