Abstract excerpt
Experimental data support a protective function of apolipoprotein E (apoE) against restenosis, the main factor limiting the long-term benefit of percutaneous coronary interventions. We investigated the possibility that the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)--219G/T, 113G/C, 334T/C, and 472C/T of the gene encoding apoE (APOE) are associated with the incidence of death and myocardial infarction or restenosis...
