Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The resistin gene (RETN) -420C>G and +299G>A polymorphism was investigated in a case-control study from forty complex Pakistani families with coronary artery disease (CAD) history. Heritability of the susceptible/variant alleles was investigated from parent-offspring trios in these families. METHOD: Resistin levels were determined from 239 individuals by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Genotyping...
