Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the present study, we evaluated whether DEFB1 gene polymorphisms are associated with the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: Two rs11362 A/G, and rs1800972 C/G gene polymorphisms of DEFB1 gene were genotyped by 5'exonuclease TaqMan assays in 219 patients with CAD and 522 control individuals. RESULTS: The distribution of rs1800972 C/G polymorphisms was similar in patients with CAD...
