Comparison of carotid artery intima-media thickness, flow-mediated endothelium-dependent (postischemia) vasodilatation and endothelium-independent vasodilatation according to the CCR5Δ32 polymorphism distributiona

CCR5Δ32 polymorphism Mean IMT, mm (SD) P value Mean FMD % (SD) P value Mean NTG % (SD) P value
CCR5/CCR5 (n = 95) 0.73 (0.16)
CCR5/CCR5Δ32 (n = 10) 0.79 (0.32)
CCR5Δ32/CCR5Δ32 (n = 0) - 0.32
CCR5/CCR5 (n = 113) 5.51 (4.66) 17.2 (7.64)
CCR5/CCR5Δ32 (n = 14) 7.03 (6.61) 18.21 (8.45)
CCR5Δ32/CCR5Δ32 (n = 0) - 0.28 - 0.64

aIMT: intima-media thickness; FMD: flow-mediated endothelium-dependent (postischemia) vasodilatation; NTG: endothelium-independent (postnitroglycerin) vasodilatation.
