Production of genome sequence has recently skyrocketed with many advances in the understanding and etiology of certain diseases. Researchers have localized a region of the @entity1 genome that plays a role in determining a @entity1 susceptibility to @entity583 . A new apolipoprotein gene that influences @entity412 levels in @entity1 is also described. A recent study from Finland showed that certain families are likely to carry a genetic form of @entity1720 that predisposes them to accelerated @entity731 . Researchers identified 3 mutations in the gene producing a protein called @entity10274 , which appears to be linked to abnormalities in cellular structures and function in @entity1 with @entity384 . Gene therapy has emerged as a genuine therapeutic option with the potential to alter the manner in which cardiologists manage the 2 most common @entity453 and @entity712 . Along with angiogenesis and gene therapy, cell transplantation is one of the newest treatment modalities proposed to improve the outcome of @entity1 with @entity712 . Two major advances in stem cell therapy for @entity65 were published recently. They demonstrate how bone marrow stem cells can regenerate myocardium in the @entity1188 area of a @entity19 heart. A German Cardiologist has for the first time successfully transplanted a @entity1 own stem cells in an infracted area in the heart. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the genetic associations with @entity299 .
