Abstract excerpt
The platelet collagen receptor, GPIa/IIa, is an important mediator of platelet adhesion to fibrillar collagens at sites of vascular injury. Recently, a dimorphism at nucleotide 807 of the GPIa cDNA (TTC/TTT in codon 224) was shown to be associated with variation in GPIa/IIa receptor density on the platelet surface. We conducted a case-control study to determine if the 807T allele, linked with increased GPIa/IIa...
