Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Previous case-control studies suggested the single nucleotide polymorphisms of lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) gene and galectin-2 (LGASL2) gene are associated with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. However, other studies did not confirm this relationship. The objective was to assess the relationship of LTA gene, LGALS2 gene and coronary artery disease, using a meta-analysis. METHODS:...
