BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: AGEs (advanced glycation end products)-RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products) interaction in vessel wall may lead to inflammation, smooth muscle cell proliferation and extracellular matrix production, culminating in exaggerated intimal hyperplasia and restenosis. We focused on the putative association of five candidate RAGE gene polymorphisms on the risk of coronary artery...
