We investigated the association between serum visfatin levels and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs61330082, rs2058539) in the visfatin gene and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in patients from Wenzhou, China. CAC patients (N = 206) were divided into two groups: mild CAC (MCAC) and moderate and severe CAC (MSCAC). Volunteers without CAC (N = 70) were included in the control group. The serum visfatin level was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
