The control group consisted of 192 healthy population controls, selected from the bio- bank of the Molecular Medicine Center. SPSS and PLINK were used for the statistical analysis with level of significance < 0.05 and confidence interval 95%. The mean age of the studied patients was 63.71 ± 9.35 years; 35 (35%) females. Previous myocardial infarction (MI) had 38(38%); one-vessel – 39 (39%); two-vessel – 28 (28%); three-vessel disease – 34 (34%); 43 (43%) were with diabetes mellitus; 92 (92%) – with arterial hypertension (AH); 77 (77%) – with dyslipidemia; 42 (42%) were smokers; 25 (25%) were obese.

This is of practical importance both for studying the genetic aspects of CAD in the future and for enlargement of the current database.
