Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Evidence has accumulated that multiple polymorphisms in the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β pathway and renin-angiotensin system play important roles in determining susceptibility to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Few studies have considered interactions between these gene polymorphisms and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of single...
