Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Increased vascular calcification plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. It is the result of an active ossification process counteracted by 'protective' proteins, such as matrix GLA protein (MGP). Polymorphisms of MGP have been identified. METHODS: The aim of this study was to define the distribution of two MGP polymorphisms (-7,...
