Abstract excerpt
No prospective data demonstrating an association between the -11377 C > G adiponectin gene promoter variant and cardiovascular risk are available. We therefore prospectively evaluated the cardiovascular risk associated with adiponectin gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including SNP -11377 in a consecutive series of men undergoing coronary angiography. We recorded vascular events over four years in 402...
