Abstract excerpt

Fibrinogen, an acute phase protein, is an important inflammatory marker that is associated with cardiovascular diseases. We studied the association of three common human fibrinogen-beta gene (FGB) variants, -455G>A, -249C>T, and -148C>T with glycemic parameters in 265 non-diabetic Hong Kong Chinese subjects. Both FGB variants, -455G>A and -148C>T were in complete linkage disequilibrium and were associated with...
