No association between MGP rs1800802 polymorphism and stenosis of the coronary artery
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Matrix Gla protein (MGP) was originally isolated from bone but it is known to be expressed in several tissues including kidney, lung, heart, cartilage and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of the blood vessel wall. Since it inhibits calcification in subendothelial space...
