Abstract excerpt
Variations in candidate genes participating in oxidative stress, inflammation, and their interactions are potentially associated with diseases of atherosclerotic origin. We investigated independent and joint associations of variations in cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), interleukin-8 (IL8), peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-alpha (PPARA), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) genes with incident...
