Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Progression of coronary artery disease (CAD) depends on multiple genetic and environmental factors. Polymorphic variants of genes encoding proteins involved in endothelium dysfunction or proinflammatory state may genetically differentiate the human population and determine a susceptibility to the disease. AIM: To find the relationship between single polymorphisms of MTHFR, IL-6 and ICAM1 genes, double...
