Association between the C3F gene and atherosclerotic vascular diseases.
The C3 phenotype distribution was studied in a group of patients suffering from atherosclerotic vascular diseases. A statistically significant association was found between the presence of the C3F gene and the occurrence of atherosclerosis. A relative risk incidence of the disease of 1.87 was found for the C3F-positive individuals as compared to the C3F-negative ones.
