Our study showed that Leu125Val polymorphism of PECAM-1 gene and elevated soluble PECAM-1 were related to severe coronary artery stenosis in CAD patients of Asian Indian origin in Singapore.
The 643R allele of R643G polymorphism (also known as R670G in the premature protein) in PECAM-1 has been associated with risk of myocardial infarction (MI), while the 643G allele has been associated with risk of coronary artery stenosis (CAS).
