Abstract excerpt
The human protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) is activated by thrombin at the surface of platelets and endothelial cells, 2 cells that are implicated in hemostasis and thrombosis. We studied the PAR-1 gene in a large case-control study from the Paris Thrombosis Study (PATHROS), and the possible implication of polymorphisms in venous thromboembolism was evaluated. Two polymorphisms were found in the 5'...
