Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although commonly used in adults to detect early atherosclerosis, the value of the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in children and adolescents is not clear. This marker has an inheritable component that supports the notion of a genetic influence. Among the genes studied as candidates for atherosclerosis development are those for chemokines, cytokines, and adhesion molecules because of their...
