Apoptosis has been involved in a number of pathological conditions including coronary artery disease (CAD). Caspases (CASP) are important regulators and executioners in both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways. The aim of the present study is to examine the role of Caspase 8 and 3 polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of CAD. CAD patients (n=300) and healthy controls (n=300) were genotyped for polymorphisms in...
