Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Connexin (Cx) proteins are the building blocks of gap junctions. Among these, Cx37 and Cx40 are expressed on vascular system and reported to have cardioprotective role. Linking polymorphisms in genes coding for Cx and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk showed conflicting results in different populations. None has been studied before in Egyptians. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate...
