Abstract excerpt
Recent findings have demonstrated that plasma C-reactive protein levels predict restenosis after coronary angioplasty. Furthermore, C-reactive protein levels have also been shown to be heritable. However, no genetic-epidemiological data are available on the relationship between genetic variants of C-reactive protein (CRP) gene and risk of restenosis after angioplasty. The present study was carried out to examine...
