ADAMTS-7 is associated with a high-risk plaque phenotype in human atherosclerosis

Abstract Several large-scale genome-wide association studies have identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the genomic region of A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin type 1 repeats (ADAMTS)-7 and associations to coronary artery disease. Experimental studies have provided evid...

High levels of ADAMTS-7 correlated with high levels of CD68-staining and lipid content, but with low smooth muscle cell and collagen content, which together are characteristics of a vulnerable plaque phenotype.
