Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have recently reported that homozygosity for the minor A-allele of RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products) -374T/A polymorphism may exert a protective effect toward the development of angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD). Here we focused on the putative involvement of this functional RAGE polymorphism on the severity of coronary atherosclerosis as assessed by angiography. METHODS:...
