The rs1805193, rs5361, and rs5355 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the E-selectin gene (SEL-E) are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis: The Genetics of Atherosclerotic Disease (GEA) Mexican study.
The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Ser128Arg in the E-selectin gene is overrepresented in certain patient populations with atherosclerosis or restenosis.
The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Ser128Arg in the E-selectin gene is overrepresented in certain patient groups with atherosclerosis or restenosis.
The aim of this study was to assess E-selectin Ser128Arg polymorphism in subjects with clinical and instrumental evidence of atherosclerosis and to analyze the correlations with clinical severity.
Relationships between the E-selectin S128R polymorphism and coronary artery calcification (CAC), a marker of atherosclerosis detected with noninvasive electron beam computed tomography, were examined in 294 asymptomatic women aged 40--88 years and 314 asymptomatic men aged 30--80 years from the Epidemiology of Coronary Artery Calcification Study.
