Association of the Platelet Glycoprotein Ia C807T Gene Polymorphism With Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction in Younger Patients
15 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Recently, we have shown that two alleles of the glycoprotein (GP) Ia gene, designated C807 and T807, are associated with low or high platelet GPIa-IIa density and consequently with slower or faster rate of platelet adhesion to type I collagen, respectively. This polymorphism could therefore present a genetic predisposition for the development of thrombotic disease and hemostasis. We investigated the relationship...
