Abstract excerpt
The histidin-rich glycoprotein (HRG) may contribute to coronary heart disease as a consequence of its possible thrombophilic properties. To test this hypothesis we have investigated the Pro186/Ser polymorphism of the HRG gene, which is known to strongly affect plasma HRG levels, in a large multicenter case-control study of myocardial infarction (MI). The results failed to demonstrate any association between the...
