Abstract excerpt
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most prevalent form of cardiovascular disease. A growing body of research shows that interleukins (ILs), such as IL-8, IL-18 and IL-16, elicit pro-inflammatory responses and may play critical roles in the pathologic process of CAD. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), capable of generating functional modifications in IL genes, appear to be associated with CAD risk. This...
