Abstract
Growth arrest–specific gene 6 (GAS6) encodes a vitamin K–
dependent protein that regulates inflammation, angiogenesis, and
atherosclerotic plaque formation. The level of GAS6 expression is
associated with plaque stability and stroke. The role of GAS6 in
cardiovascular disease, particularly in acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
was explored .The study investigated the role of the single nucleotide
polymorphism (c.834+7G>A) of GAS6 in ACS. The genotype
frequencies for GG, AG, and AA, respectively, in patients with ACS
were 57.1% (16/28), 28.6% (8/28), and 14.3% (4/28) and were 20%
(4/20), 40% (8/20), 40% (8/20) in the control group. The AA genotype
and A allele were less frequent in patients with ACS than in control
subjects (P
