Abstract excerpt
The central role of chemokines in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has been made clear. Recently polymorphisms in the gene regulatory region of MCP-1 and in the promoter region of RANTES have been found, which increase the expression of these chemokines. We investigated the role of these polymorphisms together with the chemokine SDF-1-801A and the chemokine receptors CCR2-64I and CCR5Delta32 mutations in 318...
