Abstract
Our results suggest that the screened cDNA clones are useful disease markers in the genetic diagnosis of primary varicose vein and that the L1 and Alu elements possibly participated in the development of primary varicose veins through their expression patterns in genes encoded with structural proteins, such as collagen, elastin, and tropomyosin. Further studies are required to elucidate the potential relationship between repeat sequences and primary varicose veins.
