Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The ABO gene has been widely studied and associated with many different diseases such as myocardial infarction and diabetes. Pleiotropic effects of the ABO locus have been demonstrated. Indeed it affects different phenotypes such as E- and P-selectins, triglycerides and total cholesterol. The goal of this work was to study the SNP rs644234 located in the ABO gene with different phenotypes related with...
