In this pilot case-control study single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in several inflammatory genes, such as interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-10, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (ACT), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-alpha and interferon gamma (IFN)-gamma genes along with SNPs of genes regulating vascular functions (vascular endothelial growth factor; VEGF) and cholesterol synthesis (hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl CoA reductase; HMGCR) were investigated. | lld:pubmed |
