Homozygosity for the Ala Allele of the PPARγ2 Pro12Ala Polymorphism Is Associated with Reduced Risk of Coronary Artery Disease

Several studies suggest that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is involved in atherogenesis. The Pro12Ala polymorphism in the gene encoding PPARγ (PPARγ2 gene) influences the risk for type 2 diabetes. Two population-based studies have shown that the Ala allele is associate...
