The Lewis antigen system as a marker of IHD risk

Prevalence of Lewis antigens and phenotypes has been investigated in 60 healthy donors and 74 patients with ischemic heart disease. It was found that phenotype Le(a-b-) marks high risk and phenotype Le(a-b+) is a resistance marker for development of ischemic heart disease. It would be valid to eluci...

Summary:Prevalence of Lewis antigens and phenotypes has been investigated in 60 healthy donors and 74 patients with ischemic heart disease. It was found that phenotype Le(a-b-) marks high risk and phenotype Le(a-b+) is a resistance marker for development of ischemic heart disease. It would be valid to elucidate relationships between Lewis system and pathogenesis of internal diseases.
