Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The proteasome system plays a crucial role in several malignant disorders, especially in multiple myeloma (MM). The G-allele of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -8C>G in the gene PSMA6, one of seven alpha-subunit genes of the 20S proteasome, was associated with myocardial infarction. Moreover, PSMA6 mRNA expression in human B-cell lines depended on genotypes. We investigated a potential role...
