Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to explore the role of variants of the gene encoding arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) as possible susceptibility factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with or without angiographically proven CAD. A total of 1431 patients with or without angiographically documented CAD were examined simultaneously for seven ALOX5AP...
