Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Cysteine proteases and their inhibitors such as cystatin C are assumed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of cystatin C polymorphisms on cystatin C plasma levels and on prognosis of patients with CHD. METHODS AND RESULTS: Four polymorphisms in the promoter and exon 1 of the cystatin C gene...
