Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: E-selectin polymorphisms are an independent atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factor. This study aimed to investigate the link between the C1901T and G2692A E-selectin tagging SNPs and their haplotypes and the extent of coronary artery disease in Polish patients. MATERIAL/METHODS: For this study 321 patients were recruited CAD extent by coronary angiography and E selectin gene...
