See rs6318. Male catheterization patients at ~1.2x increased risk for subsequent cardiac events, females at ~1.6x increased risk. Likely stronger emotional response to stress, and apparently (slightly?) higher risk for affective disorders (major depressive and bipolar disorders). Poorer lipid profiles have also been reported.
