Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Chronic inflammation play an important role on abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) formation. Chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2) is involved in regulation of the inflammatory response. However, relation between CCR2 polymorphism and AAA formation in human has not yet been investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between AAA and CCR2-V64I gene polymorphism. METHODS: In this study, 100...
