This SNP, located in an intron of a gene (HNRPUL1) on chromosome 19, may be associated with early onset myocardial infarction (MI). The risk allele for this SNP is the most common allele, rs11881940(A), with an odds ratio of 1.92 (1.28–2.86), and therefore it is also possible the view the rarer allele, rs11881940(T), as potentially playing a protective role against early onset MI.
