Polymorphisms of the Interferon gamma gene and coronary artery disease in the Korean population
Abundant evidence supports the hypothesis that inflammation plays an important role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we investigated whether genetic polymorphisms of the Interfe...
