摘要: Type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD) are conditions that cause a substantial public health burden. Since both often coexist in the same individual, it has been hypothesized they have common effector. Insulin hyperglycemia assumed to play critical roles this scenario. In recent years, many genetic risk factors for CAD discovered, mainly through genome-wide association studies. Genetic aspects of diabetes, diabetic macrovascular complications, intersections leading effector hypothesis. However, only few could be identified modulate conditions. Polymorphisms TCF7L2 near CDKN2A/B genes seem great importance regard since appear conditions, not necessarily related insulinism, or hyperglycemia, development. Other issues hypothesis, such as problems phenotype heterogeneity, also interest. Recent studies contributed better understanding complex genetics complications. Much effort is still needed clarify associations cardiovascular disease. At present, there little evidence support other than insulin between these
