Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms of the upstream stimulatory factor 1 (USF1) have been associated with carotid artery intima-media thickness and coronary atherosclerotic lesions. Unstable carotid plaque is an atherosclerotic change of vascular morphology that has been correlated with cerebrovascular ischemic symptoms. Associations of three single nucleotide polymorphisms of the USF1 gene with total unstable carotid plaque area...
