Abstract excerpt
We performed genetic association study for genes encoding angiogenic and angiostatic proteins in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK). A total of 96 SNPs involving 60 genes were studied. Genotyping was performed in Fluidigm 96.96 Dynamic Array chip. All statistical analysis for SNP evaluation was performed using PLINK software. Initial analyses revealed five SNPs from three genes [IL-18 (encodes...
