P-selectin Thr715Pro polymorphism predicts P-selectin levels but not risk of incident coronary heart disease or ischemic stroke in a cohort of 14595 participants: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.
We measured serum soluble P-selectin levels as well as 3 polymorphisms of the P-selectin gene (C-2123G, A-1969G, and Thr715Pro) in a large cohort of patients with documented coronary artery disease (n=869) and a healthy control group (n=334).
