Our work suggests that c-Fos transcript level in blood leukocyte could be considered a cumulative biomarker of smoking. As the c-Fos gene has been put forward as a new factor in the progression and severity of atherosclerosis, it could be considered a novel potential pathway of tobacco toxicity in coronary artery disease.
