Abstract excerpt
C825T polymorphism in the G protein beta3 subunit gene (GNB3) is associated with increased transmembrane signal transduction via adenylyl cyclase inhibiting G (G(i)) proteins. We tested whether GNB3 C825T is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Genotypes were determined with polymerase chain reaction and allele-specific fluorogenic probes. Angiographically examined, consecutive...
