Abstract excerpt
We investigated whether C(-260)-->T polymorphism in the promoter of the CD14 monocyte receptor gene predisposed to coronary atherosclerosis and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Japanese men. The frequencies of T allele and T/T homozygotes in patients with AMI were significantly higher than in controls and in patients with angina without prior AMI, suggesting that the CD14 promoter polymorphism is associated...
