Abstract excerpt
The 4G/5G polymorphism in the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene, has been associated with arterial disease. In this study, we investigated the association of IS in young patients with CRP and PAI-1 levels and frequency of insertion-deletion polymorphism of PAI-1 gene. The plasma levels of PAI-1 and CRP and the frequency of 4G/5G polymorphism were analyzed in 127 Brazilian young patients that...
