Abstract excerpt
A recent report has suggested that the E4 allele of apolipoprotein (apo) E increases the risk of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and also that it interacts synergistically with the deletion (D) allele of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) to increase the risk sixteen-fold. To investigate this further, we genotyped 231 subjects with successful PTCA who underwent planned...
