TL;DR: An association analysis in CAD cases and controls identifies 15 loci reaching genome-wide significance, taking the number of susceptibility loci for CAD to 46, and a further 104 independent variants strongly associated with CAD at a 5% false discovery rate (FDR).

Allele-specific increase in basal transcription of the plasminogen-activator inhibitor 1 gene is associated with myocardial infarction
TL;DR: Evidence for an independent, etiological role of PAI-1 in myocardial infarction is provided and the 4G allele of a recently described common 4/5-guanine-tract (4G/5G) polymorphism in the PAi-1 promoter is associated with higher plasma PAI -1 activity.

TL;DR: Genome-wide association studies have identified 11 common variants convincingly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), a modest number considering the apparent heritability of CAD(8) as mentioned in this paper.

Functional Polymorphism in the Regulatory Region of Gelatinase B Gene in Relation to Severity of Coronary Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that sequence variation in the promoter region of the gelatinase B gene influences its expression, predisposing individuals carrying certain genetic variants to more severe atherosclerosis suggests that this functional genetic variation influences gelatinases B gene promoter activity in an allele-specific manner and has an effect on atherosclerotic phenotype.
