Abstract excerpt
Perlecan is one of the three major classes of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) within the cardiovascular system; it interacts with lipid metabolism by binding to lipoprotein lipase (LpL) and apolipoprotein B (apo B) and may be related to vascular disease. We explored interactions between an HSPG2 polymorphism (BamHI marker), and apo B and coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing coronary...
