Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The protective effect of +45T >G polymorphism in the adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) on coronary artery disease (CAD) has been demonstrated in European populations, so this study investigated the effect of +45T >G polymorphism on the risk of CAD and its interactions with other metabolic risk factors in a Chinese population. METHODS AND RESULTS: The +45T >G polymorphism (rs2241766) of ADIPOQ was genotyped in...
