Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: No data have been so far reported on the relationship between polymorphisms of LEP gene and cardiovascular disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We genotyped a tetranucleotide repeat mapped in the 3'UTR of the LEP gene (LEP-tet) in 109 subjects with cardiovascular events and in 109 control subjects. RESULTS: Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, smoking...
