Abstract excerpt
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) are two enzymes of the cholinergic system putatively involved in coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the genes encoding these enzymes to determine whether some allele or genotype might represent a factor of risk or protection for CAD onset. AChE rs2571598 and BChE rs1803274 (the so-called...
