Abstract excerpt
The present study aims to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the apelin gene (APLN) in relation to arterial stiffness, and to explore its molecular mechanisms. A two-step genetic association study was conducted using 799 and 937 subjects in the screening and validation data, respectively. Four tagging SNPs of APLN were tested. SNP rs3115757 was significantly associated with stiffness parameters...
