Angiogenesis related genes in Takayasu Arteritis (TAK): robust association with Tag SNPs of IL-18 and FGF-2 in a South Asian Cohort
We performed genetic association study for genes encoding angiogenic and angiostatic proteins in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK). A total of 96 SNPs involving 60 genes were studied. Genotyping was performed in Fluidigm 96.96 Dynamic Array chip. All statistical analysis for SNP evaluation was...

Zusammenfassung: | We performed genetic association study for genes encoding angiogenic and angiostatic proteins in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK). A total of 96 SNPs involving 60 genes were studied. Genotyping was performed in Fluidigm 96.96 Dynamic Array chip. All statistical analysis for SNP evaluation was performed using PLINK software. Initial analyses revealed five SNPs from three genes [IL-18 (encodes Interleukin-18), FGF2 (encodes Fibroblast Growth Factor-2), and ANGPT1 (encodes Angiopoietin-1)] as significantly different between controls and cases (uncorrected p |
