TLDR
A case–control study to investigate whether the FccRIIa G507A genotype contributes to risk of arterial thrombosis as manifested by myocardial infarction (MI), and the contribution of the polymorphism to clinical manifestations of certain hematological and autoimmune diseases.

Fcγ receptors and ligands and cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: Further knowledge of the vascular biology of Fc&ggr;R and their ligands will potentially enhance the understanding of cardiovascular disorders, particularly in patients whose greater predisposition for disease is not explained by traditional risk factors, such as individuals with autoimmune disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of C-reactive protein on osteo-/chondrogenic transdifferentiation and calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells.

TL;DR: Vascular CRP expression was increased in the klotho-hypomorphic mouse model of aging as well as in HAoSMCs during calcifying conditions and augments osteo-/chondrogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells through mechanisms involving FCGR2A-dependent induction of oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

The association between a common FCGR2A polymorphism and C-reactive protein and coronary artery disease revisited.

TL;DR: With an accurate genotyping method, the RR genotype was correlated with atherothrombotic CAD events and the inverse correlation found between CRP levels and genotype supports the in vitro data of RR cells binding CRP stronger than HH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early atherosclerosis and IgG2 to bacteria are associated with FcγRIIa genotype in non-smokers

TL;DR: This work has shown that human FcγRIIa receptor (CD32) plays a crucial role in the phagocytosis of IgG2 ICs and a functional point mutation 131His/Arg diminishes IgG 2 binding to the receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Fcγ Receptors in Myocardial Diseases and Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent significant progress addressing the various roles of FcγRs in the disease pathogenesis which comes from the studies of F cγRs deficient animal models, clinical investigations and in vitro molecular and cellular studies, and suggests FcαγRs as a potential therapeutic target for the diseases.

A single amino acid in the second Ig-like domain of the human Fc gamma receptor II is critical for human IgG2 binding.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid Fc gamma RIIa molecules were constructed to determine the epitope for mAb 41H16 and the binding domain for mIgG1 and hIg2 complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular basis for a polymorphism of human Fc gamma receptor II (CD32).

TL;DR: Data showing the presence of an alternatively spliced mRNA detected by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) might suggest the existence of a soluble form of the human Fc gamma RII, in addition to the membrane- bound forms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variant Genotypes of the Low-Affinity Fcγ Receptors in Two Control Populations and a Review of Low-Affinity Fcγ Receptor Polymorphisms in Control and Disease Populations

TL;DR: Data is presented that should serve as the foundation for the interpretation of association studies involving multiple variant alleles of the low-affinity FcgammaR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia: New Insights Into the Impact of the FcγRIIa-R-H131 Polymorphism

TL;DR: It is speculated that the reduced clearance of immune complexes in patients with the FcgammaRIIa-R/R131 allotype causes prolonged activation of endothelial cells and platelets, thus increasing the risk for thrombotic complications.
