Abstract excerpt
In coronary artery disease (CAD), a potentially reversible factor leading to cardiac death is left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) 188CT polymorphism of lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoproteins receptor-1 (LOX-1) gene has been associated with an increased risk for CAD. We aim to investigate, in a Turkish population, whether 3'UTR188CT variation could affect the development of...
