Analysis of plasma myeloperoxidase levels and functional gene –463G>A and –129G>A polymorphisms with early onset of coronary artery disease in South Indian population

Introduction. The present investigation is pursued to study the possible association of –463G>A and –129G>A polymorphism in MPO gene and assessment of plasma MPO levels with the risk of developing coronary artery disease. Material and methods. A total of 200 angiographically documented CAD patients and 200 age, gender ethnicity matched healthy controls were recruited for the study. Plasma MPO levels were assessed using enzyme-linked...
