Abstract

The article discusses a study which assess the role of functional genetic variants for stiffness and plasma lipids of carotid artery. It states that an analysis for monomorphic variants of alleles was conducted for sample taken from study subjects. It reveals the involvement of gene CLEC16A for carotid vasodilatation modulation.
