Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence suggests that the principal TNF-α converting enzyme, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17), is involved in the development of human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, the association between ADAM17 gene polymorphisms and AAA has not been explored. The present study was aimed to determine the association between ADAM17 promoter polymorphisms and AAA. METHODS: A...
