Abstract excerpt
A20 or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) is a negative regulator of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). We have investigated whether polymorphisms in this gene are associated with increased atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. Five tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were typed in 479 type 2 diabetic patients from Boston, including 239 coronary artery disease (CAD)-positive case...
