• Multi-ethnic analysis reveals soluble L-selectin may be post-transcriptionally regulated by 3′UTR polymorphism: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 25576479

  ABSTRACT: L-selectin is constitutively expressed on leukocytes and mediates their interaction with endothelial cells during inflammation. Previous studies on the association of soluble L-selectin (sL-selectin) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are inconsistent. Genetic variants associated with sL-selectin levels may be a better surrogate of levels over a lifetime. We explored the association of genetic variants and sL-selectin levels in a race/ethnicity stratified random sample of 2,403 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Through a genome-wide analysis with additive linear regression models, we found that rs12938 on the SELL gene accounted for a significant portion of the protein level variance across all four races/ethnicities. To evaluate potential additiona
