Matrix Gla protein (MGP) promoter polymorphic variants and its serum level in stenosis of coronary artery.

Molecular biology reports - 1 Mar 2014

Najafi Mohammad, Roustazadeh Abazar, Amirfarhangi Abdollah, Kazemi Bahram

Abstract excerpt

Although the role of matrix Gla protein (MGP) is not completely known but, its expression within subendothelial macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells is suggested to be involved in vascular calcification. In this study, we investigated the associations between the serum MGP levels and the MGP promoter high minor allele frequency (MAF) variants with the development of stenosis in coronary arteries....
