Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent findings of an association between polymorphisms of advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor (AGER) and risk of diabetic vasculopathy have generated great interest. However, to date, no genetic-epidemiological data are available on risk of atherothrombotic events among nondiabetic populations. METHODS: Using DNA samples collected at baseline in a prospective cohort of...
