Genomic structure and PCR-SSCP analysis of the human CD40 ligand gene: its application to prenatal screening for X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome.

abstract：:Air pollution is recognized as causal factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is associated with multiple CVD risk factors. Substantial research effort has been invested in understanding the linkages between genetic variation and CVD risk, resulting in over 50 CVD-associated genetic loci. More recently, gene-air p...
