Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To evaluate the association between LOXIN, a new functional protective splicing isoform of the oxidized LDL receptor 1 (OLR1) gene, and the severity of coronary artery stenoses. METHODS: We analyzed 100 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 100 controls, all evaluated by a new molecular biology test using highly specific allele primers able to identify the single nucleotide variation...
