Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor the kinase domain receptor play critical roles in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. Periostin is an up-regulator of kinase domain receptor expression. The purpose of this study was to determine whether polymorphisms in periostin are associated with the risk of coronary artery disease. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP C-33G, SNP A-953T) within...
