Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, soluble P-selectin, and soluble E-selectin have been associated with variation at the ABO locus. To evaluate these associations and the effect sizes, we performed a meta-analysis with new and previous reported data for polymorphism rs579459. METHODS AND RESULTS: Compared with major allele homozygotes, heterozygotes and minor allele...
