Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) mediates the transendothelial migration of circulating leukocytes, a characteristic change in vascular inflammation leading to atherosclerotic plaque development. We hypothesized that genetic variation and soluble level of PECAM-1 could be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN AND METHODS: We analyzed two single nucleotide...
