Endothelial Lipase Gene Polymorphism (584 C/T) in Coronary Artery Patients Among a Turkish Population

Apolipoprotein E Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Coronary Atherosclerosis Patients Candidate for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

  Objective(s): Apolipoprotein E genotype (APOE) polymorphism affects lipid levels and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. The aim of this study was to study the association of the Apolipoprotein E genotypes with coronary artery disease in the Iranian population.   Materials and Methods: The Apolipoprotein E genotype in DNA samples extracted from 66 CAD+ patients and 61 control s...

the -514c/t polymorphism of hepatic lipase gene among iranian patients with coronary heart disease

background: the t allele of the hepatic lipase (hl) c-514t polymorphism was previously found to be associated with lower plasma hl activity. here, we examined the association between this polymorphism and plasma hdl-cholesterol concentrations in patients with coronary arteries stenosis. methods: we studied 342 subjects undergoing coronary angiography in two groups of non cad (n=146) and cad (n=...

Analysis of the association Hind III Polymorphism of Lipoprotein Lipase gene on the risk of coronary artery disease

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability around the world. Interaction between genetic and environmental factors determines susceptibility of an individual to develop coronary artery disease . Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) play an important role in the metabolism of HDL-C ( High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol ), LDL-C (Low Density Lipoprotein Ch...

Association between T-786C polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and level of the vessel dilation factor in patients with coronary artery disease

Various polymorphisms on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOs) gene cause reduced production of NO, the endothelial relaxing factor, and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. The study designed to investigate the frequency of T-786C polymorphism of the eNOs gene in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) in north-west of Iran. One hundred twenty subjects including 60 p...

Retraction note: Association between T-786C polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and level of the vessel dilation factor in patients with coronary artery disease
