Abstract excerpt
An inadequate selenium level is supposed to be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However little is known about variation of the genes encoding selenium-containing proteins that would confirm the causality in these diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between two functional variants of selenoprotein P gene (SEPP1 rs3877899G>A, rs7579G>A) and the occurrence of abdominal aortic...
