Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Is Associated With Allelic Variants of Stromelysin-1, Interleukin-6, and Hepatic Lipase Genes The Northern Manhattan Prospective Cohort Study
Tanja Rundek,Mitchell S.V.Elkind,John Pittman,Bernadette Boden-Albala,S Martin,Steve E. Humphries,Suh Hang Hank Juo,Ralph L. Sacco +7 more
TL;DR: Carotid IMT is higher among subjects homozygous for functional variants in genes related to matrix deposition (MMP3 −16126A), inflammation (IL6 −174G), and lipid metabolism (HL −480C); these associations were independent of race-ethnicity and some environmental exposures.
