USE OF ADAMTS4 GENE AND PROTEIN POLYMORPHISMS

摘要

The use of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the ADAMTS4 gene for the identification of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disorders or of an increased risk for developing cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disorders in a biological sample taken from an individual to be examined; the use of ADAMTS4 for identifying substances active in preventing and/or treating cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disorders and methods for doing so.
