Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Inflammatory markers play an important role in the development of diseases related to metabolic syndrome, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD). The present study evaluates the association of -2518A>G polymorphism in the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene with T2D and CAD. RESULTS: The frequency of the G allele is greater in CAD cases (35%) as compared to T2D (24.6%)...
