Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Polymorphisms in the RANTES (G-403A), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1; A-2518G), stromal cell-derived factor-1beta (SDF-1beta; G801A), and C-C chemokine receptor-5 (CCR5; Delta32) genes have been associated with functional effects. These chemokines have been implicated in leucocyte recruitment to arterial lesions. In a case-control study, we explored relations between these polymorphisms and...
