ADTRP
ADTRPgeneADTRP promotes sex-hormone-mediated suppression of monocyte recruitment and vascular inflammation, reducing plaque destabilization.

Collection tube
K2-EDTA whole blood (lavender-top)
Method / principle
SNP genotyping / sequencing; or immunoassay of encoded protein
Reagent / substrate
Allele-specific primers/probes (TaqMan) or NGS panel; or antibody for protein
Platform
qPCR / NGS / array
