Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic background of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is complex and poorly understood. Studying genetic components of intermediate phenotypes, such as endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress, may aid in identifying novel genetic components for atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. METHODS: Five polymorphisms forming two haplotype blocks within the GTP cyclohydrolase 1...
