Plasma Levels of the Proinflammatory Chitin‐Binding Glycoprotein YKL‐40, Variation in the Chitinase 3‐Like 1 Gene (CHI3L1), and Incident Cardiovascular Events

BACKGROUND: YKL‐40, encoded by the chitinase 3‐like 1 (CHI3L1) gene, is a chitinase‐like protein involved in innate immune function hypothesized to play a role in the progression of atherosclerosis that may have differential roles in myocardial infarction (MI), as compared to stroke.
