Abstract :
OBJECTIVE: Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid with multiple actions that is involved in inflammatory diseases as well as in atherogenesis. It is inactivated by a plasma enzyme, PAF-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH). Deficiency of this enzyme in plasma is caused by a missense mutation in the gene (G994T). The aim of this study was to investigate association of this mutation with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). |
