Figure 3From: Identification of haplotype tag single nucleotide polymorphisms within the receptor for advanced glycation end products gene and their clinical relevance in patients with major traumaEffect of the -429T/C polymorphism on the transcription activity of the RAGE promoter. Relative luciferase activity (RLA) was measured in U937 cells transfected with -429T or -429C plasmid constructs as described in methods. The fold increase of RLA was significantly lower in cells transfected with variant C allele than those transfected with wild T allele (P = 0.032).Back to article page
