Abstract excerpt
A significant portion of current medical research is devoted to the pursuit of genetic markers that can be used to identify disease or predict susceptibility to disease. In such a quest many investigators hypothesized that genetic variations that alter signalling pathways involved in atherosclerosis affect susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD). Fractalkine (FKN) is a small cytokine involved in monocyte...
