The present invention provides a method of identifying subject's susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases or risk of developing myocardial infarction (MI) or cerebrovascular stroke by detecting gene polymorphisms and other gene mutations from a biological sample of the subject and optionally obtaining information concerning the family and medical history, blood, serum, plasma and urinary analytes of the subject. Genetic variations or polymorphisms are detected in a number of genes, including genes encoding a2b- adrenoceptor and apolipoprotein B. The invention also provides a multivariate model, a combination or algorithm of variables which best describes the probability of cardiovascular diseases especially MI and stroke. The invention also relates to a test kit and software for accomplishing the method.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'identifier des sujets sensibles aux maladies cardio-vasculaires ou présentant un risque d'infarctus du myocarde ou d'accident cérébro-vasculaire. A cet effet, on recherche dans un échantillon biologique du sujet des polymorphismes de gènes ou d'autres mutations géniques, et éventuellement, on se réfère aux antécédents familiaux et médicaux du sujet, ainsi qu'aux analyses de sang, de sérum, et d'urine du sujet. On détecte les variations génétiques ou polymorphismes dans plusieurs gènes, y compris les gènes codant l'a2b-adrénorécepteur et l'apolipoprotéine B. L'invention concerne également un modèle multidimensionnel, une combinaison ou un algorithme de variables qui décrit le mieux la probabilité de maladies cardio-vasculaires, et notamment l'infarctus du myocarde et les accidents cérébro-vasculaires. L'invention concerne enfin un nécessaire de test ainsi qu'un logiciel permettant la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé.
