Genomics of Pattern Recognition Receptors: Applications in Oncology and Cardiovascular Diseases

This book offers comprehensive information on the polymorphisms of genes encoding pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).Following a short description of the general role of PRRs in the immune system, the structure and function of Toll-like and NOD-like receptors are examined in detail. The main focus is on the role of inherited variation in PRRs and their correlation to cancer and cardiovascular diseases. A review of all epidemiological investigations is included, and a concept of genomic risk markers for the prevention of various diseases is also discussed.Genomics of Pattern Recognition Receptors: Applications in Oncology and Cardiovascular Diseases is written by Anton G. Kutikhin; Arseniy E. Yuzhalin and published by Springer. ISBNs for Genomics of Pattern Recognition Receptors are 9783034806886, 3034806884 and the print ISBNs are 9783034806879, 3034806876.
