Abstract excerpt
P-selectin is an adhesion molecule involved in the pathogenesis of inflammation, thrombosis, and oncogenesis. In this study of 51 polymorphisms in candidate genes for cardiovascular disease in 1561 individuals, we identified a new allelic variant of the SELP gene, g.18196_20704del, that determined the lack of genotyping for one polymorphism in one individual. It is a deletion of 2509 nucleotides which starts in...
