Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of tropoelastin gene and aortic dissection (AD) via identifying SNPs in the tropoelastin gene, and to detect the level of tropoelastin mRNA, elastin and elastic fibers. METHODS: The specimens of the AD group (n=96) and the control group (n=95), including their blood and aortic wall tissues, were collected. DNA was extracted from...
