SELPLG Gene Polymorphisms in Relation to Plasma SELPLG Levels and Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract: SummaryP-selectin and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand (SELPLG, selectin P ligand) constitute a receptor/ligand complex that is likely to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis and its complications. While the genetic variability of P-selectin has already been investigated in depth, that of the SELPLG gene has not yet been extensively explored. The coding and regulatory sequences of the SELPLG were screened and nine polymorphisms were identified. The identified polymorphisms were genotyped in the Athe… Show more

“…Haplotype-based analysis may help to differentiate the true effect of an SNP from what is due to its linkage disequilibrium with other variants [Tregouet et al, 2003;Frere et al, 2006]. Haplotypes may serve as better markers for unknown functional variants than SNPs alone, and importantly, they may also define functional units in which the effects cannot be predicted from what is known of the individual effect of each SNP that enters into their combination.…”

“…Last, at least 12 intron-breeding repeats identified in our study have been described as variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) (minisatellites) and hence are highly polymorphic within the human population (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44). Polymorphisms in the tandem-repeat sequence of the thymidylate synthase gene are used as markers for effectiveness of 5-fluorouracil in cancer patients (42)(43)(44).…”
