Abstract excerpt
P-selectin is a member of the selectin family of cell adhesion molecules which are important in the transient attachment of leukocytes to endothelial cells and platelets. A number of polymorphisms in the gene encoding P-selectin have been identified. Objectives were to investigate the relationship of soluble P (sP)-selectin with P-selectin gene polymorphisms and coronary artery disease (CAD). Two hundred and...
