Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of variations in chemokines (CCL5, CCL2), chemokine receptor (CCR5 and CCR2) genes with susceptibility to myocardial infarction (MI) through a case-control study. METHODS: Genotypes of patients with MI (n = 634) were compared with those of controls (n = 601). Genetic polymorphisms of CCL5 rs2107538 (-403G > A), CCL2 rs1024611 (-2518A > G), CCR5 rs333 ( δ 32 ins or del) and...
