Lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis. Meanwhile, association of some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of LTA gene with coronary artery disease (CAD) has been evaluated; however, the results are irreproducible. We therefore investigated the relationship between four SNPs of LTA gene and CAD in Han Chinese: G+10A (rs1800683,...
