Abstract excerpt
Recent findings suggest that inflammation plays a role in atherosclerosis and its acute complications. Several known mechanisms may play at least a partial role in this process. One of the most likely mechanisms involves lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and its receptor, CD14. The C(-260)T single nucleotide polymorphism (rs2569190) in the promoter region of the CD14 receptor gene has been reported to be associated with a...
