Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether polymorphic variants of the HTR1B gene are associated with the susceptibility of Raynauds' Phenomenon (RP) coursed by vibration. METHODS: 148 subjects exposed to vibration for more than 2 years were classified into either induced white finger (VWF) group (n = 72), or non-VWF group (n = 76). Vibration exposure levels were measured and assessed following ISO 5349-1:2001 protocol. All...
