Association of Variation at the ABO Locus With Circulating Levels of Soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1, Soluble P-selectin, and Soluble E-selectin
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Circulating levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, soluble P-selectin, and soluble E-selectin have been associated with variation at the ABO locus. To evaluate these associations and the effect sizes, we performed a meta-analysis with new and previous reported data for polymorphism rs579459.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Compared with major allele homozygotes, heterozygotes and minor allele homozygotes had 4.6% (95% CI, …
