Abstract
Our results suggest that an increase in FGF2 mRNA expression, related to coronary atherosclerosis, may be necessary for the maintenance of the individual FGF2 plasma level. Since the individual FGF2 mRNA and protein level are, to a large extent, triggered off by genetic background, the FGF2 expression cannot be referred to as an independent clinical marker for CAD.
